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 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.)
