Transferring from LSPWELCOME!
Declaring the Major/Minor
To declare the major or minor LSP students should fill out the appropriate declaration form for the History Department’s records – even if the student has already been declared on ALBERT at the time of transfer into the College of Arts and Science.
GPA
LSP is a separate school from CAS and like any other courses transferred from another school, GSP course grades do not and can not factor into the total GPA or GPA for history, though they are noted on the student’s transcript and degree progress report.
History Major
Transferring GSP Courses into the Major
Students that have transferred from LSP to CAS BEFORE SEPTEMBER, 2010 may apply three LSP courses towards their history major: Social Foundations I & II and the Non-West Civilization course. These three courses will always be counted as introductory courses. Your remaining 6 classes must be advanced (V57.0100 or above).
Students that transfer from LSP to CAS AFTER SEPTEMBER, 2010 may apply two LSP courses toward the major: only Social Foundations I and II. NOT the Non-West Civilization class. Students must take 6 advanced courses so only one more introductory course (V57.0100) course may be counted toward the major.
AP Credit
LSP students may not transfer AP credit unless they choose to not use one of the above classes to fulfill a history major requirement.
History Course Planning
LSP transfer students should take all advanced courses. Because history majors may only transfer 4 courses from other schools or departments to count as history classes, LSP students may only transfer one additional course as they are already transferring 3 LSP courses. Students should look at the Degree Progress Checklist to help plan their schedules.
For more general information about the major and minor please visit the History Undergraduate Program Website.
History Minor
Transferring LSP Courses into the Major
LSP students may count one of the following LSP courses as a history minor course:
● Social Foundations I
● Social Foundations II
History minor students may only count one introductory course for the minor therefore; if a student decides to count one of the above courses toward the minor they may not count another introductory course. History minors who have transferred from LSP should take only advanced history classes.
AP Credit
AP credit does not count toward the history minor.
History Course Planning
● The history minor does not have any geographical, pre-1800, workshop, or seminar requirements; any 4 history courses may fulfill the minor as long as only one of them is introductory.
● Only 1 course may be double counted between the history minor and another major or minor.
● No Internship, Independent Study, or AP credit will be accepted towards the history minor.
