Four-Year Plan: History


Sample Four-Year Plan of Study 2023-2024

The following are sample plans of course requirements to complete the History major in four years or eight semesters.

  • Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as these plans do not include transfer work or credit for prior learning (such as Advanced Placement-AP).
  • Math, English, and Reading placement is primarily determined by high school performance and confirmed by on-site assessment.
    • If fundamental courses are required, they should be taken within the first year.
  • All courses listed are three semester hours unless indicated otherwise.

NOTE: Four-year plans assume the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semester hours may be required to complete the degree.

Refer to the program page  or course descriptions  for additional information about this major and requirements to degree.
