A student’s degree plan, his or her path to graduation, is defined in the university catalog. Each year the university issues a new catalog and requirements sometimes change. Consult your catalog number for specific requirements for both your major and for all core requirements to graduate.

As a history major, you are part of the College of Liberal Arts, and that is where you will find the requirements for a major in history.  For instance, catalog 139 is for students admitted in 2016-2017, and the requirements for a major in history can be found at http://catalog.tamu.edu/archives/

Beginning with Catalog 136, history majors must take at least one 300-400 level course in three of five areas- United States; European; Asia, Africa and the Middle East; Latin America and Caribbean; and Thematic- in order to gain breadth in their knowledge of history.They also must take at least one course in pre-modern history from those indicated by a * on Elective History Courses at Texas A&M University.
