The
department offers courses for the BA degree with a major in history and
for a major in social science with history as a leading subject. Students
majoring in other fields may minor in history or take courses for general
interest, elective credit or as part of the Arts and Sciences Core.
The Bachelor of Arts degree requires a minimum of 128 hours, 42 of which
must be advanced, and fulfillment of the general requirements of the
College of Arts and Sciences and the University Core Curriculum.
Major in History
A major in history requires completion of HIST 1050-1060, though other

advanced work consisting of three courses from Group A, one course from
Group B, one course from Group C; and one additional course selected from
either Group B or C.
The Catalogue sometimes omits classes, or an entire Group. New classes are
also added between editions. In addition HIST 4260 and 4900 carry variable
Group credit. If you are uncertain as to Group credit consult the
Department at 940/565-2288 or Wooten Hall 225.
Minor in History
Students may minor in history by completing 18 semester hours, including
HIST 1050-1060 and 2610-2620 or approved substitutes, (including
substitutions of Advanced work) are allowed. Six hours of Advanced history
