not exceed the maximum of two 1000-level history courses (including FYSM
courses designated with topics in history).
Course
categories
The following course categories
are used in the specification of the History programs.

The following field definitions
are used to classify the History courses below the 4000-level:
- the world before 1750
- modern Europe
- North America
- the non-Western world
- ideas, culture, and
society
The field classification
of each course is included with the course description. Courses that do not
