Courses that Count for Concentration Credit 2007-2008

The following courses count for concentration credit in the fields of History and Literature. In most cases, this means that at least 50% of the material in the course relates directly to the student's field. Combined fields (e.g., France and America) are not listed; please consult the list for Modern Europe and the lists for the individual countries that compose the combined field, bearing in mind that combined fields typically cover only 1750 to the present (Britain and America covers 1600 to the present). Remember to consult the FAS Courses of Instruction catalog as well because sometimes concentration credit will be granted for a course that does not appear on this list. For example, graduate courses (200- and 2000-level courses) are not listed, but you may petition for them to be counted for concentration credit. If you find a course that you think is well suited to your own particular course of study, but that course does not appear on the list, please petition the Committee on Instruction for credit, keeping in mind the 50% guideline. For more information on how to submit a petition to the Committee on Instruction, please see the Concentrator Handbook. Petitions are usually due before the second week of classes. Finally, please note that course content can sometimes change; even if a course appears listed below, it is the responsibility of students and their tutors to make sure that the course fulfills the requirement that it is intended to fulfill. If you have any questions about courses or concentration credits, please speak with one of the Co-Chairs of the Committee on Instruction.

Brackets and asterisks in the course listings appear in accordance with the listings in the university course catalog.
