Very difficult to decide which one because I really like both! Since I'm only taking 1 course per semester, which is all I can do now due to work, I figure I have until the end of next year to make up my mind. I've already completed Historical Research Methods and am taking Roman Republic & Empire now. I'm off for the Spring semester to take care of other commitments, but in the Summer I'm signing up for Historiography with Greek Civilization in the Fall. I figure if I do switch the 2 subject courses will work nicely as electives since the Founders drew so much inspiration from both Ancient Greece and Rome. So hard to decide which one...
Yeah, I can see how it would be hard to decide! Of course, I think American history would be a little easier to research.....you live here, for one thing.

Your degree plan allows for two electives? Mine only allowed for one.
Quote:A question for you, do you know if APU has copies of previously submitted theses we can look at? I know of several universities that have placed their's online and I find those to be helpful in getting an overall idea of what to do. Thanks and again: CONGRATS!!!
I asked my professor that a few weeks ago, actually....he said they aren't online yet, but APU is apparently working on it. They do give you a couple of sample theses once you register for the course though.
