HL90 Seminars
What are HL90 Seminars?
HIST-LIT 90 Seminars are discussion-based, writing-intensive, interdisciplinary courses usually capped at 15 students. They are taught by members of our Tutorial Board and Committee on Degrees. First-year students and sophomores interested in History & Literature are encouraged to take HL90 Seminars to get to know the concentration. These courses can be used to satisfy distribution requirements in History & Literature, and students have the option to count one HL90 or HL10 on any topic for concentration credit regardless of field.
Deadline for applications to a Spring 2022 HL90 is Wednesday, January 19 at 11:59 pm and students will be cleared to register on Thursday, January 20. Waitlist admissions will be made on Friday, January 21. Students can submit an application (for multiple HL90s) here.
