History Major Language Requirement

Russian 101-203 (2 years of a second language)

Notes: This student has developed a path that emphasizes the history of Europe (including European colonization and cultural influence) while also fulfilling History Department credit requirements, the upper-division History Before 1800 requirement, the upper-division Distribution/Breadth Field requirement (US, Europe, and World), the HIST 407 Seminar requirement, and has taken care of the major second language requirement (as well as the UO BA second language requirement) by completing Russian 203. Majors should note that, as is true of all of the path suggestions found here, but perhaps along with the US path particularly true of this one, it would be possible to construct this option with an entirely different set of courses.
