Why It Works
This path concentrates on US history while fulfilling the 49 required credits for the major.
These upper division courses provide 8 credits in pre-1800 history (HIST 308 and HIST 455) and 8 credits each in three fields of study (US, Europe, and Africa/Middle East).
A HIST 407 research seminar is required of all majors and counts toward the overall minimum for upper division credits. The topic in this example (Environmental History of the Pacific Northwest) also counts towards the US field, if needed.
Spanish is merely a suggestion based on the prevalence of German history courses in this sample path. There are many language options available at UO to fulfill the second language requirement.
