Students, with the help and approval of an adviser, will develop an idea or theme of special interest, which they will explore in four courses (12 credits) within their chosen track. At least two courses must be at the 300 level or above. Special Topics courses in different disciplines may be used to satisfy these requirements with the prior permission of the program director. One independent study course may be used to satisfy part of these requirements. Students may develop an individualized concentration that focuses on a period before the 18th century.
