Program Information

PROGRAM INFORMATION

The History curriculum is quite flexible, in which not one course, but a number of courses, would serve to meet a requirement in the degree program. When you plan out your degree progress, it would be wiser (and more in alignment with the realities of course offerings) if you think in terms of putting into the ¿class slots¿ categories of requirements (e.g., Survey 1 HIS course) rather than tie yourself down to any specific course for that slot. You will find that many of our courses, especially at the 300- and 400- levels, are described as ¿intermittently offered.¿ This does NOT mean that these courses are offered infrequently. Some of these courses are offered every year; it may be in the Fall, or in the Spring, but not necessarily either Fall or Spring every year, and usually not in both the Fall semester and the Spring semester in the same academic year. You should always consult your advisors to find out which History courses are being offered in the semester in question.

General Information

Progression Plans are intended to provide a general road map related to the sequencing of courses. The use of Progression Plans does not constitute a contract with the University. Progression Plans are a planning tool to help you define a pathway towards degree completion.

The NAU academic catalog is the official, authoritative source for all academic requirements and policies. Any discrepancies in curricular requirements from other sources will default to the academic catalog as the official, authoritative source. For a full description of degree requirements and course descriptions, refer to the Academic Catalog (link at the top of the page).

Some courses may have prerequisites and/or require an appropriate placement score (i.e. Mathematics and English). If you do not have the prerequisite course(s) or placement, you may have to take more courses than are presented on the Progression Plan.

If you are an NAU student, Jacks Planner (an interactive version of progression plans) may be available to you. To get to Jacks Planner, log into your Student Center in LOUIE and click on Jacks Planner.
