Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements
Students completing degree programs must fulfil writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of their program. See “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 7 for information. For the faculty’s requirements, see “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 90.
To enter, students must complete 18 units of 100 and 200 division history courses. One hundred and 200 division courses introduce four groupings of history course offerings: the history of the Americas; European history; the history of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia; and Global/Comparative history.
Students entering 400 division seminars should have an appropriate background in 100, 200 division and/or 300 division history. Normally, students should complete 45 units (or equivalent) prior to enrolment in any upper division history course.
Students should plan lower division work with upper division requirements in mind. The program offers a wide range of courses in four lower division groups, providing introduction to a broad curriculum. A careful selection of lower division courses lays the foundation for specialization in specific upper division areas. For this reason, complete at least one course from at least three of the four lower division courses.

Major students obtain credit in at least 32 units (eight courses) of 300 and 400 division work; 12 units (three courses) must be in 400 division courses. Courses must be distributed within all four groups. Students complete at least one course from each group.
