Requirements and Recommendations

Six courses are required for completion of the Irish Studies Program. Students are strongly urged to plan their course of study in consultation with the director of the program to ensure a broad exposure to the field of Irish Studies.

For matriculated students, successful completion of the program is recorded on official University transcripts when they have met all CAS graduation requirements.

Courses may be chosen from among Irish Studies courses and those offered by CAS departments from the following list:

AMST 405 (The Immigrant Experience: Aliens and Anglo-Saxons in American Society, 1830-1930)*
*Core C110 (Cultural History)
Engl L377 (AmSt L377) (Irish-American Literature and Culture)
Engl 391 (Joyce)
Engl 392 (Yeats)
Engl 415 (Irish Literature)
Engl 419 (Recent Irish Writing)

*Hist C230 (Nationalism in the Modern World)
Hist 339 (Irish History, 1688 to Present)
*Hist 395 (History of Boston)
