Students should develop a coherent program of study in consultation with their major adviser. The student and adviser must meet to plan the student's course of study and ensure that the major encompasses breadth across regions and time periods. The student's plan must involve at least one western and one non-western course. The student must bring a list of history courses completed and ongoing.

When the student applies for graduation the student and adviser must meet:

• To document that the student has successfully demonstrated breadth across regions and time periods in the major.
• To discuss ways in which the student perceives history and historical questions as a result of thinking about history at UMM.
• To evaluate what historical skills and knowledge the student has gained while studying history at UMM.

Supporting evidence of such skills and knowledge may include successful papers, tutorials, student initiated studies, etc. The adviser must keep a record of this meeting.

• Hist 1101 Introduction to World History to 1500 or Hist 1102 Introduction to World History Since 1500
• Hist 4110-4120 Tutorial in History.
• 28 additional credits in History courses.
• Courses with grades of D may not be used to meet the major requirements.

Minor requirements include Hist 1101 or 1102 and four additional courses of which at least three are at 2xxx or higher. There should be evidence of work in at least two geographic areas, with at least one of these in a non-Western area.
