Meeting IAH Requirements with Transfer Courses

To transfer credits to meet IAH requirements, contact Dr. Kirk Kidwell, Assistant Director of CIS-AH: kidwell@msu.edu.

IAH “A” Requirements and Transfer Courses

Transfer students may fulfill the “A” (or first) IAH requirement by completing one of the following combination of courses. Note: All courses in these combinations must be completed before students come to MSU. Once students have attended MSU, they must complete the requirement by taking one of the IAH courses.

IAH 201 One course in American history, plus completion of one year of English composition.

IAH 202 Courses in modern European history, accompanied by completion of one year of English composition, may be reviewed for IAH 202 equivalency.*

IAH 203 Courses in Latin American history, accompanied by completion of one year of English composition, may be reviewed for IAH 203 equivalency.*

IAH 204 Courses in Asian history, accompanied by completion of one year of English composition, may be reviewed for IAH 204 equivalency.*

IAH 207 Thematically focused literature courses, accompanied by completion of one year of English composition, may be reviewed for IAH 207 equivalency.*

IAH 208 Courses in music history, accompanied by completion of one year of English composition may be reviewed for IAH 208 equivalency.*

*Students seeking review of courses not already in Transfer MSU, MSU’s web-based transfer equivalency system, http://transfer.msu.edu/default.asp, should make an appointment in CISAH and bring course description and syllabus when they come for the appointment.

IAH “B” Requirements and Transfer Courses

Transfer students may meet the IAH “B” course requirement with courses in the areas of history, literature, philosophy, religion, music or art appreciation, music or art history. Students intending to transfer to MSU or who have already transferred may consult the Web-based transfer equivalency system (Transfer MSU) for their institution at http://transfer.msu.edu/default.asp, following the instructions for prospective transfer students. If such students have taken a course at another institution that they believe may meet the requirement even though it is not listed in Transfer MSU, they may make an appointment in CISAH and bring course description and syllabus when they come for the appointment.
