HISTORY COURSES FOR FALL 2008 (By Course No.)
Check the Boston University Student Link to determine whether a class is still open; students may add courses with unrestricted enrollments through the first two weeks of the semester. The department maintains wait lists for the colloquia (400- and 500-level courses) once these classes reach their enrollment limits; thus the Link may show available seats, but there may already be students on the list who will be admitted first. You can obtain information on adding your name to a wait list by clicking on the "Wait List" button.

Click on the course number to view that course's description. A guide to the location of classrooms is at the end of the course list.
