Checklist of Graduation Requirements in History

As you plan and carry out your major in history, you may find this form useful in gaining a broader perspective on your program of study and in giving that program coherent shape and clear direction. You may also find it helpful in keeping track of requirements that you have satisfied, and those that remain to be fulfilled. It may make advising conferences more efficient and useful. It may also save you time when, in the first semester of your senior year, you are asked to submit a completed checklist, with a description of your concentration, to the Department Chair.

When identifying the course(s) for each requirement below, be sure to record where you took it, if not at Mount Holyoke. Please indicate:

  • course number and complete course title
  • instructor's name and semester
  • year taken
