1. There are three tracks within the Programs for Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy in History: Ottoman History, European History and American History.
2. To satisfy the requirements of the Field-Related Seminar, additional field-related courses, including language courses, may be specified by the student’s Academic Advisor and the Department.
What does this mean in practice?
HIST 490 Field-Related Seminar is a non-credit course, directed by the student’s academic advisor, which runs in each of the semesters of the Preparatory Year, designed to ensure that the student is doing, or has done, the necessary relevant courses for his or her field, both within the credits specified above, and sometimes in addition to them, and that the student is otherwise prepared for his or her Master of Arts Program or Doctor of Philosophy Program.
In the case of each track in both the Preparatory Year for the Master of Arts Program and the Preparatory Year for Doctor of Philosophy (where applicable) there are courses that are normally required. If a student is exempted from a course normally required, it should be replaced by another course as agreed with the student’s academic adviser. There may be exceptions made to the requirements set out below, but all exceptions need to be approved by both the student’s academic advisor and the department.
For all MA Preparatory Year Students
Students should be aware that the department requires all MA students to demonstrate some proficiency in a Modern Foreign Languages other than English or Turkish by the time of graduation from the MA Program and may wish to take courses to satisfy this requirement during the Preparatory Year or in the following Summer School. Existing proficiency in such Modern Foreign Languages may make this unnecessary, but this should be checked with the student’s academic advisor and the department.
In addition to the courses specified in the appropriate section below, students, with the approval of their academic adviser, may take one extra course, HIST 4xx or higher, per semester, provided that the total semester course-load does not exceed five courses. If one or both of these extra courses is HIST 5xx or higher, they may be transferred to the MA Program proper.
For all PhD Preparatory Year Students
Students should be aware that the department requires all PhD students to demonstrate some proficiency in two Modern Foreign Languages other than English or Turkish by the time of graduation from the Doctoral Program and may wish to take courses to satisfy this requirement during the Preparatory Year or in the following Summer School. Existing proficiency in such Modern Foreign Languages may make this unnecessary, but this should be checked with the student’s academic advisor and the department.
In addition to the courses specified in the appropriate section below, students, with the approval of their academic advisor, may take one extra course, HIST 4xx or higher, per semester, provided that the total semester course-load does not exceed five courses. If one or both of these extra courses is HIST 5xx or higher, they may be transferred to the PhD Program proper.
