History Department Syllabi Library
Graduate Courses
The History Department’s Syllabi Library gives students the opportunity to view syllabi for both previously and currently offered history courses. While we believe referencing these syllabi before registering for future courses is helpful, students should take note that courses, even though they may share a course number, title, and instructor, vary from semester to semester and instructor to instructor. Students should also be aware that the instructor may modify his or her course plan as appropriate throughout the semester. If students have any questions or concerns regarding the courses they are considering registering for, we encourage them to consult with the History Department’s academic advisor and/or talk with the course instructor.
