All undergraduates must complete two designated writing credit (W) courses, at least one must be in major or minor.

Additional Information

Research Seminar

In the spirit of understanding the Research Seminar as "doing history after learning history, " it should not be the student's first 400-level course. It should be taken after the student has completed a couple of 400-level courses. Ideally, it should be taken in the second semester of the junior year or the first semester of the senior year. (If it is taken during the student's last semester of the senior year, and the student fails the course, he or she will not be able to graduate on time.) The Research Seminars, HY 441, HY 442, HY 443, and HY 444, are also Writing Intensive (W), and therefore fulfill both the Department's requirement to have a research experience and the University's requirement to do a W class in your major or minor. All undergraduates must complete two designated Writing Intensive (W) classes and at least one must be in the major or minor.
