History, B.A. Sample Degree Map

The History, B.A. degree is designed to provide students with historical knowledge that is both broad and deep. Majors are required to take foundation courses in U.S., European, and world history. They also choose primary and secondary concentrations and explore these areas more deeply. A series of methodologies classes trains students to read closely, analyze and evaluate sources, conduct research, and communicate findings in writing and orally.

The State University of New York at Fredonia is committed to doing our part to provide each student a clear path to graduation. This four-year degree plan is a sample map for fulfilling requirements in the major, the Fredonia Foundations (FF), and other supporting courses. The pathway that you take to your degree may differ somewhat from this illustration, depending on where you start and the detours and side trips you may take along the way. If you are committed to completing your degree in four years, we encourage you to consider signing up for the Fredonia in 4 program.
