Curriculum

This program is for the student who wishes to combine history and literature in a manner that might not be feasible under the requirements of the Division of History and Social Sciences  or the Division of Literature and Languages . Admission to the major is by application to the History/Literature Committee.

All history-literature students must pass a junior qualifying exam, and their thesis will be evaluated along with others by the adviser and an orals board consisting of faculty from the history or literature departments. The thesis must bridge the disciplines of history and literature.

Early consultation with a member of the committee is important for students considering this major in order to determine whether the student qualifies for the major and to plan a program.
