One of the two courses taken must come from a course offered within the School of Gender, Race & Nations (SGRN) or one that is cross-listed with an
SGRN course. Students must select courses from the list below which identifies the list of acceptable U.S. focused courses, the list of European and U.S. Colonialism and Imperialism courses, as well as which courses come from or are cross-listed with SGRN departments. The courses which satisfy the SGRN component are identified with an asterisk before the course subject code.
