European History Concentration
Requirements for the European History Concentration are the same for all history majors, regardless of their declaration date.
If you are concentrating in European History, along with the major requirements, you are required to take at least 6 courses in your concentration, 4 of which (including one seminar) should be above the 200-level. You should consult with your faculty advisor each semester during pre-registration regarding the best courses for you to take the following semester. Two major-related courses from other departments (ex. ARTH, ENGL, PSCI) may be used, and these must be approved in writing by your faculty advisor.

Upper Level Courses
300-400 level courses are on special topics and are more advanced. They often presuppose some basic knowledge in the field and should be more difficult courses than courses at the 1-199 levels. The department is trying to insure that some 400 level courses, although substantially more difficult, are also small in size; they thus may be suitable for graduate students.
