Letter to All History Concentrators

RE: Change in requirement for history honors program

To All Junior History Concentrators:

The honors requirements for students who will be on campus during fall semester but away during spring semester have changed. In the past, all students who have been away during the spring semester have been exempted from the courses HIST 1992 "Preparing to Write a History Honors Thesis."

During 2008-09, HIST 1992 will be offered during both semesters. Students who spend only one semester of their junior year away from Brown must enroll in HIST 1992 during the semester they are on campus. In the fall, Professor Ken Sacks will teach the course on Thursdays, 4:00- 6:20. (NOTE: Banner lists this course on Tuesdays at 4:00, which is incorrect). In the spring Professor Nancy Jacobs will teach the course on Thursdays, 4:00- 6:20.

Juniors who are away for the entire year are exempted from the HIST 1992 requirement and may apply to the history honors program upon their return to campus. The application to the program, including a completed prospectus, is due on the first day of classes of the seventh semester.

For information, contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies for the History Department at Nancy_Jacobs@brown.edu.

Sincerely,

The History Department Undergraduate Advisors
