Because a number of variable factors influence course scheduling, the History Department cannot guarantee in advance that any specific course will be available in the semester the student may wish to take it. Students should therefore plan their programs each semester with the assistance of a History faculty advisor. Students may make advisement appointments in the History Department Office (Sierra Tower 610; telephone 677-3566).
