Department of History Advising

Advising in the Department of History is available to all students interested in a major, minor, a teaching credential, or a special major combining History with another discipline. Students are strongly encouraged to see an Undergraduate Advisor at an early stage in the major and throughout the development of their programs.

During the summer, the CLA Advising Center (ATLAS) is available to support students when Department Advisors are unavailable. Please review  hours and instructions to connect with an advisor.
