Twelve units in the major (from HIST 110, HIST 111, HIST 114, HIST 115, HIST 120, and HIST 121) and all lower-division GE requirements have been satisfied. Check with a major advisor about the most appropriate course sequence. Degree completion guaranteed in 60 units; see the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) section for more information.
