Preparing for the Major

Before declaring a history major, students must take at least one class within the Stanford Department of History taught by a Stanford History instructor. 

Declaring the Major

Students must have at least six quarters of enrollment in the major. Each candidate for the BA in History should declare the major by autumn quarter of the third year of study or earlier, if possible.
