Courses that Count for Concentration Credit 2009-2010
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.
If you find a course that you think is well-suited to your own particular course of study, but that 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.
For the Class of 2010: Combined fields (e.g., Britain and France) are not listed. Please consult the list for “Modern Europe” (Class of 2010) and the lists for the individual countries that compose the combined field, bearing in mind that combined fields typically cover the period from 1750 to the present.
For the Classes of 2011 and higher: The lists for Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia now appear under the heading “Modern Europe” (Classes of 2011, 2012, and 2013). The courses on these lists span the period from 1750 to the present. Students interested in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, or Russia previous to 1750 will find relevant courses on the list for Early Modern Europe (1300-1750) or on the list for Medieval Europe (ca. 400 to 1500).
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.
Note: All the courses listed below count for concentration credit in the America field, but ONLY SOME also fulfill a period requirement; be sure to check that list as well.
