History courses for graduate student enrollment only are numbered at the 500 level. Graduate students may also take selected undergraduate courses for graduate credit (with the Graduate Director's approval). Those undergraduate courses must be offered by graduate faculty in history at the 400 level (a maximum of two, 400-level courses is allowed; these will count as electives). No 300-level undergraduate courses will be accepted for credit.
