courses. They may be elected by students who have the neces· sarY preparation.

Courses 90 and 91 are primarily for students who expect to teach his tory in a s econdary school. Seniors completing a major or a teaching minor in history will be regula rly admitted to these coUJ·ses. Other senior s and graduates will be admitted only by special permis sion.

C. Courses 252 to 262 ar e open only to graduate s tudents.

The History Requirement for Graduation

When history is offe red as one of the required studies in the general course leading to the de gree of bachelor of arts (see page 132) , the requirement must be satisfied by a continuous tlll'ee­credit course extending through two semesters.

The Major in History

Th irty credi ts In history (including, for upper group students , a thesis, four credits), a re required for an upder gradua te major in history and must include: (a ) One introductory course in Euro· pean and one in Amel'ican history, and (b) At least twelve credits

in advanced courses.

The Master's Degree in History

Candidates for the mas ter's degree in his tory who have com· pleted an undergraduate major in history in this Univer sity, or its equivalent elsewhere, are required, in their year of work for the degree, to do one-half their work (e. g., a three hour lecture course and a seminary, bo th throughout the year), in advanced history, and to write an accep table thesis. They are permitted to com· plete t he ir vrograms , fr om advanced courses in history or related subjec ts. Other candidates for the master's degree in history will be r equired t o concentrate their work more fully, or exclusively, upon history. Every candidate for this degree is expected to have had , as under graduate or graduate, a t least one advanced course in European and one in American history.

The thesis requirement is wa ived in th e case of a student bold· ing undergraduate Thesis Honors in the Univer sity of Wisconsin, and may be waived by vote of the Department in cases of s tu­dents recommended to continue for the doctor's degree. Candi·

dates will be admitted to the oral examination for the master's degree only in case the grades in all courses taken the previous semester (or summer session). were good or above.

The Doctor's Degree in History

Candidates for the degree of doctor of philosophy must be pre. pared by undergraduate studies to undertake advanced work. If they are notably deficient in their preparation (taking a mini­mum undergraduate major in history as a basis for judgment), the deficiency must be made up during the first graduate year, without counting toward the higher degree.

The award of the doctor's degree is based UllOD the preparation of a thesis and examination in seven fields, two of which must lie outside the department.

The thesis must be based upon individual research, and must be presented in good litemry and technical form for the approval of the reading committee, at least thirty days before the candidate is admitted to his final examination.

Two examinations are required for the doctor's degref!. The preliminary examiuatton must be taken at least seven mouths in advance of the date at which the degree is expected to be awarded. It is designed to demonstrate the extent and soundness of the candidate's preparation over :.'..11 of the seven fields des­cribed below, and to serve as a basis for his further studies. Ad· mission to the candidacy for the degree will be based upon this examination.

At the preliminary examination, the candidate may, with the approval of the professors concerned, indicate fields included within his major and minor subjects, but not including the thesis or the field in which it falls, and may take a final examination in these fields.

The final examination will include the thesis and the field In which it falls and a ll of the other fields presented by the candi­date that have not been eliminated at the preliminary examin­ation.

The seven fields upon which the candidate will be examined are as follows:

1. Historical Method and Historiography, including a know!· edge of the lives and writings of the great historians, and re­quired of all candidates.

HISTORY 195

Four fields comprising the major subject, from the follow· in;-5iist: Ancient History, Medieval Europe, Modern Europe,

n land, American Colonies, United States. . . E 6~7 Two fields comprising the minor subject, ord~anly to be selec.ted from those offered in economics, law, philosophy, or political science; but fields in other departments may be selected with the approval of the department.
