Sample Course Syllabi
Here are recent syllabi for a sample of graduate courses offered in the program. Please be aware that these are all “works in progress” and change, sometimes markedly, from year to year as professors teaching the course rotate or as we update the readings, change the organization, alter the assignments, and otherwise modify the course to reflect new developments in the field. Other courses are offered from time to time as well.
I. 600-level Courses: These are exclusively for graduate students and operate in a seminar format:
- HST 600: INTRODUCTION TO HISTORICAL STUDIES
- HST 614: READING SEMINAR IN EARLY AMERICA
- HST 615: READING SEMINAR IN MODERN AMERICA
- HST 643: REGIONAL SEMINAR: MODERN EUROPE
- HST 644: REGIONAL SEMINAR: LATIN AMERICA
- HST 645: REGIONAL SEMINAR: EAST ASIA
- HST 648: TOLERANCE AND PERSECUTION IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE
II. 500-level Courses: These are “swing” courses that include both undergraudte and graduates. They generally enroll larger numbers than the 600-level seminars and operate in a lecture/discussion mode. Special requirements for graduate students, beyond those of the undergraduates, normally apply.

- HST 516: COLONIAL NORTH AMERICA
- HST 517: THE ERA OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION
- HST 518: EARLY REPUBLIC
