Transitioning from Liberal Studies
Transferring Liberal Studies Courses into the Major
Students that transfer from LS to CAS may apply the 3 Global Works and Society courses (formerly called Social Foundations) toward the major. Students must take 5 advanced courses so only one more introductory course (below HIST-UA 100) course may be counted toward the major.
- GWA-UF 101 Global Works and Society: Antiquity fulfills an intro Pre-1800 requirement
- GWC-UF 102 Global Works and Society in a Changing World fulfills an intro European requirement
- GWM-UF 201 Global Works and Society: Modernity fulfulls an intro elective
Students may petition one additional non-NYU history course OR use AP/IB/A-level credit. Students should look at the Major Planning Form to help plan their schedules.
Transferring Liberal Studies Courses into the Minor
LS students may count one of the following LS courses as a history minor course:
- GWA-UF 101
- GWC-UF 102
- GWM-UF 201
Students may only count one introductory course for the minor therefore; if a student decides to count one of the above courses toward the minor, they must take three advanced level (above HIST-UA 100) history courses to complete the minor. No internship, indepdendent study, or AP/IB/A-level credit will be accepted towards the history minor.
