History Department

Study Abroad

The Reed History department encourages History majors to consider studying abroad. If you are thinking about studying abroad, plan to discuss options with your advisor as early in your Reed career as possible. Since the Junior Seminar is a required part of the history major, the department recommends studying abroad for one semester during the sophomore or junior years. Students wishing to study abroad for an entire year should plan to do so in their sophomore year.

Requests for study abroad transfer credit for history classes should go to the chair. Please follow the guidelines for transfer credit requests. Additional questions about study abroad should be directed to the International Programs Office.
