[History undergraduates] History Majors and Minors: Concentration Forms
by Kristin Celello 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Dear History Majors and Minors, Have you met with an advisor and completed a Concentration Form? The Department recommends that all students complete this form by your junior year, or when you have made significant progress in the major/minor. I definitely advise doing it before you plan your schedule for Spring 2016. The purpose is to make sure that you understand what courses you need to graduate and that we can make sure you are on the right path to graduation. Completing the form is a good way to make sure that you are on the right path to graduation! You can find a list of advisors and office hours in the History Dept. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me or to drop by my office hours. Best wishes, Prof. Celello Director of Undergraduate Studies
