History (Course 21H)
Bachelor of Science in History
General Institute Requirements (GIRs)
The General Institute Requirements include a Communication Requirement that is integrated into both the HASS Requirement and the requirements of each major; see details below.
| Summary of Subject Requirements | Subjects |
|---|---|
| Science Requirement | 6 |
| Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) Requirement [between three and six subjects can be satisfied by subjects in the Departmental Program]; at least two of these subjects must be designated as communication-intensive (CI-H) to fulfill the Communication Requirement. | 8 |
| Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirement | 2 |
| Laboratory Requirement (12 units) | 1 |
| Total GIR Subjects Required for SB Degree | 17 |
| Physical Education Requirement | |
|---|---|
| Swimming requirement, plus four physical education courses for eight points. |
Departmental Program
Choose at least two subjects in the major that are designated as communication-intensive (CI-M) to fulfill the Communication Requirement.
| Required Subjects | Units | |
| Select one 21H seminar subject (excluding 21H.390) 1 | 9-12 | |
| 21H.390 | Theories and Methods in the Study of History (CI-M) | 12 |
| 21H.THT | History Pre-Thesis Tutorial | 12 |
| 21H.THU | History Thesis (CI-M) | 12 |
| Restricted Electives | ||
| Select a coherent program, in consultation with a major advisor, of seven subjects from the history curriculum 2 | 81-84 | |
| Units in Major | 126-132 | |
| Unrestricted Electives 3 | 84-90 | |
| Units in Major That Also Satisfy the GIRs | (36-72) | |
| Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree | 180 | |
The units for any subject that counts as one of the 17 GIR subjects cannot also be counted as units required beyond the GIRs.
| 1 | Select from among 21H subjects for which the first digit after the decimal point is 3. See the History website for additional information. |
| 2 | The seven subjects must be drawn from two geographical areas and include one pre-modern subject (before 1700) and one modern subject. |
| 3 | This chart has been calculated based on an overlap of 36 units (three subjects) between the HASS General Institute Requirement and the departmental requirements. Students who develop a program of study with more overlap will be able to select more unrestricted electives to meet the number of total units beyond the GIRs required for an SB degree. |
