American History from the colonial period to 1865, United States History
since 1865, and Modern European History 1789 to the present. |
APPENDIX: COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION FIELDSStandard Fields Fields chosen from the following list must conform to graduate program planning procedures but do not require detailed description or approval by the examining faculty.
