There are a few guidelines to using these History Substitutes in your program:
- Number: Up to 3 History Substitutes may be used in a History Specialist or Joint Specialist program. Up to 2 History Substitutes may be used in a History Major or History Minor program.
- Level: Except for 100-level courses, History Substitutes are incorporated into your History program at the same year level: eg., a 400-level History Substitute may be used as a fourth year History requirement.
- Pre-modern: History Substitutes can be used to fulfill the requirement for a premodern course. The following is a list of History Substitutes, which have been approved by the Department of History.
