Sample Schedule

Sample curriculum model for the first two years for students who are History majors and seeking a B.A. degree.

You may choose to follow this schedule, but you must still consult with your advisor in the Department of History prior to registration for each term. Failure to do so may result in Registration Holds on your registration or may result in adverse consequences, if you fail to make yourself aware of various other requirements which may affect your graduation.

If you are choosing to seek certification in Secondary Education, your schedule of classes is clearly defined. Please see for more information.

If you are seeking a B.S. degree, your schedule and requirements may vary slightly. Rather than taking a foreign language you will have two additional science classes besides the General Education Core Requirement. You will need to take Calculus (rather than Prob. and Stats.). You may need to take pre-Calculus prior to attempting Calculus.

Please note: In order to graduate in four years, you must take a minimum average of fifteen to sixteen hours per term. If you are choosing to seek certification in Secondary Education, depending upon how many areas you intend to be certified to teach, it may take longer.
