6.

At least two (2) of your history courses must be writing based (CS, CW), with one (1) at the 300 level or above.

 

Because the history department believes that all seniors should participate in a capstone experience, students who have history as part of their POEs should plan to participate either in HS 493, the history department’s senior seminar, or in a similar experience in another department.  Each student should consult his or her history department advisor regarding what activities will fulfill this requirement.
