Tips for History Students

Students have considerable latitude in the order in which they take their history classes. However, keep in mind a few general principles that will help you make the most of your history education at Hope:

• Take HIST 140 as early as possible. In this class you learn research and writing skills that will help you do well in all your history classes.
• Take a 200-level class before you take a 300-level class, as 300-level classes require more reading and writing than 200-level classes.
• For the purpose of challenging yourself, take full advantage of the wide variety of 200-level and 300-level classes offered after one or two survey courses at the 100 level.
• Because of significant content overlap, do not take HIST 130 and HIST 207, or HIST 131 and HIST 208. For example, if you have taken HIST 130, you could take either HIST 131 or HIST 208. If you have taken HIST 208, you could take either HIST 130 or HIST 207.
• A course can be counted toward no more than one distribution requirement.
• Finally, Hope offers many foreign language classes and study abroad opportunities. Take advantage of these to prepare for graduate study in history or simply to have a richer experience as a history major.
