| Pre-1800 and World History Requirements |
To complete most history modules* students must complete two kinds of breadth requirements: chronological and geographical. At least 1.0 senior level course must deal exclusively with the period before 1800; this can be taken as one full year course or two half courses. Our courses are organized into four geographical categories: Canada, United States, Europe, and world (meaning the countries and regions beyond North America and Europe). Below are lists of courses that fulfil the pre-1800 and world requirements. Note that these are courses from the permanent calendar: they will not necessarily be offered every year. In addition, special topics courses can also fulfill these requirements: a list is attached below.
