Intermediate Seminars

Intermediate Seminars expose students to historical method and theory, offer an intensive pattern of discussion and writing, and prepare students for more advanced work to come. Intended for majors and non-majors alike, previous related course work or permission of the instructor may be required.

The following courses fulfill the major's requirement for an intermediate seminar. If there is an additional course that you feel should be on this list, or if you have any questions, please contact the department coordinator for assistance.
