A student who has an undergraduate major in history may be permitted to take six to nine hours of graduate work in a related field in courses approved by the Graduate Advisor. A student who presents an undergraduate minor in history must complete the entire program in the field of history.

Comprehensive Exam

Students should contact the History Graduate Advisor early in their programs for help in compiling a list of books and articles to study in preparation for the comprehensive exam. Students must pass the comprehensive exam (written and oral) over course work, bibliography, and (if Plan A) thesis.
