Requirements of the Undergraduate Major

To be accepted as a major in history of science, medicine, and technology, the student must register with the undergraduate adviser, Professor Michael H. Shank; to make an appointment email him at mhshank@wisc.edu or call 262-3972.

History of Science and Medical History courses above the elementary level count toward the 15 credits of upper-level work in the major.

The Department of History of Science certifies the expository English proficiency of any of its students who have completed a major in the department. This certification will be noted automatically on the student's record by the Office of Degree Summaries upon completion of the requirement.
