Graduate Course Offerings

The department of history offers nine to 10 graduate courses each semester. Currently, we expect to offer three courses per semester in medieval Europe, three in modern Europe, three in United States and one in Latin America. Most courses are rotated on a two to three year cycle, and the Department encourages faculty to introduce new courses. Several courses are offered every year, such as the proseminar and seminar sequence in U.S. history, modern European history, and medieval history.

All classes meet at the Rose Hill Campus unless otherwise noted. Check the Oasis system for current information on meeting times and places (follow Available Course Sections > Choose Term > Graduate School of Arts and Sciences > History). 

For a complete list of courses offered from 1996 to 2007, scroll down.
