Okay, this is from the Liberal Arts Catalog for the Major in History. For a quick reference, the information is also available in the Guidelines for the Major in History. These documents are available under Publications in the MyEC account.
"I. Core Requirements
A. Survey course in American History
B. Introductory-level course (two semesters) in Western Civilization, World History, or the equivalent...
C. At least one course that directly or indirectly addresses the nature of historical inquiry or research..."
It sounds like you've got the Core Requirements covered.
"II. Intermediate and upper-level courses (at least six) including at least one course in each of the major areas of concern in history and four courses in one of the following areas:
A. United States History...
B. European History...
C. Non-Western World History...
III. Electives"
Example courses are listed for each category. Note that ECE World Conflicts since 1900 counts as an Elective.
Here are some examples of how exams may be used to meet the requirements:
A. United States History
1. DSST Civil War & Reconstruction
2. DSST A History of The Vietnam War*
3. ECE American Dream (6 credits)
B. European History
1. DSST Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union*
2. DSST Western Europe since 1945
3. Ohio U Ancient Greece (2.67 credits)
4. Ohio U Ancient Rome (2.67 credits)
C. Non-Western History
1. DSST Introduction to the Modern Middle East
2. DSST A History of the Vietnam War*
3. Ohio U Ancient Egypt & Mesopotamia (2.67 credits)
*Note that DSST A History of the Vietnam War can reasonably be expected to qualify as a US History or as a Non-Western History, since the exam covers both American and East Asian history. One could attempt to argue that the DSST Rise & Fall of the Soviet Union covers content in both Europe and Asia, so this exam might be able to be argued as a Non-Western History as well, but definitely as a European History.
ECE World Population is a sociology exam, not a history exam, and will not count toward the history major.
