Application for Graduation (use EagleNET) must be made at least two terms in advance of the term you expect to graduate (undergraduate and post-baccalaureate).
Use the Catalog Archives to determine two important catalog years.
Requirements in Degree Works are based on these two catalog years:
- The catalog in effect at the student's first term of current matriculation is used to determine BACR (Breadth Area Credit Requirements) and UGR (Undergraduate Graduation Requirements).
- The catalog in effect at the time the student declares a major or minor is used to determine the program requirements.
Students who earn a BA in History from EWU should be able to:
- communicate historical analyses to diverse audiences;
- conduct research by using appropriate historical methods;
- demonstrate knowledge about past societies, cultures, and individuals;
- use historical knowledge in a civic engagement project.
