History Endorsement
The History endorsement is offered in collaboration with the College of Liberal Arts (CLA) on the WSU Vancouver campus and involves 48 hours of coursework. Students pursuing this endorsement have the option of working with CLA to use courses as a primary or secondary concentration within the Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences or the Bachelor of Arts in Humanities. Applicants may request a transcript evaluation to assess whether courses taken at prior colleges may be considered equivalent courses to the WSU endorsement courses. Students should confer with a faculty advisor each semester to ensure the timely completion of endorsement coursework.
