History - Brown University

History from Brown University is a Campus Bachelor History degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. In the broadest sense, history entails the study of chronologically and culturally diverse societies, considered singly and comparatively. The aim of a History concentration is to provide students with appreciation of different approaches to the study of the past and to encourage them to develop an understanding of the ways in which societies and cultures change over time. At the time of declaring a History concentration, all students must decide, in consultation with their concentration advisor and other members of the department, what particular combinations of courses will best fulfill these objectives in accordance with the following requirements: 1. Basic Requirement: A concentration in History consists of a minimum of ten semester-long courses; of these, at least eight (seven in the case of students who spend more than one semester at another institution; see ?Transferring Courses? below) must be offered by the Brown University History Department. 2. Field of Focus: Upon declaring a concentration in History, students must define the area of history that will be the primary focus of their program. The field may be defined by place (such as South Asian history), by time and place (such as modern European history), or by topic (such as environmental history). Students are expected to complete a minimum of four courses in the primary area of focus. 3. Geographical Distribution: Concentrators must distribute their ten-course minimum across at least three of the six geographic areas listed below, with a minimum of four courses in one area, three courses in a second area, and two courses in one or more other areas. Comparative and transnational courses may count for the geographical requirement with the approval of the concentration advisor. View more details on Brown University .
