Students will take a total of 24 credits in British Studies (normally as 8 courses of 3 hours each). A grade of C- or better must be received in all classes. The courses should be distributed as follows:

1. In the department of primary focus (either English or History, depending on the student's own interests), any 4 courses in British or Irish Studies. CBIS will provide a list of possible courses.
2. In the secondary department (either History, English, or Political Science, depending upon which was chosen as the primary area), a minimum of 2 courses and a maximum of 4 courses. CBIS will provide a list of possible courses (see below).
3. Students may take 1 or 2 courses in departments other than English, History, or Political Science, chosen from the attached list, in place of courses in the secondary department.
4. Students are encouraged, though not required, to do some work of explicitly interdisciplinary nature. This might involve taking a team taught course offered by two departments, like English 3162 / History 3163 or English 4112 / History 4113, or doing an Independent Study or Honors Thesis which spans two disciplines.
5. Studying in Britain or Ireland would be a fine addition to the Certificate. See the Office of International Education, Environmental Design Bldg., Room 1B45, (303)-492-6016, for information on CU's Study Abroad programs.

This is a list of pre-approved courses (as it will appear in the 2025-26 Course Catalog). Other courses, including topics courses, that is, courses with topics that vary from section to section or semester to semester, may be substituted with the approval of the CBIS director.
