In order to provide a rational and streamlined structure for students majoring in History, the Department of History & Archaeology, UWI, Mona since 1997 requires that its students follow a prescribed programme. Students are asked to note the following:

•  In their first year, Majors are required to read three history courses inclusive of HIST1703: Introduction to History and HIST1601: Atlantic World 1400-1600 which are mandatory and one other first year course.

Streaming/ concentration begins in Year Two and ALL Year Two students, as well as those completing Year One but who are doing Year Two History courses, MUST declare a concentration when registering for courses online. The Caribbean forms the core stream/concentration and HIST2006 (H20F) and HIST2007 (H20G) are compulsory. History Majors are also required to choose another stream/concentration from either, Africa, the Americas , Europe or Global , in their second and third years. With effect from 2005/06, Majors in Years Two
and Three
are required to do at least One , but no more than two courses in their selected stream/concentration beyond the Caribbean . Therefore, Majors in Year Two must do two courses from the Caribbean and at
least one from the other stream/concentration.
