McHenry County College: Equivalency Guides for Humanities

Admissions / Transfer Students / Community Colleges / McHenry County College / McHenry County College: Equivalency Guides for Humanities

American Studies

McHenry County College 91¿´Æ¬Íø

All other McHenry County College courses (completed with a grade of B- or better).

100- or 200-level credit pending the approval of the chairperson of American Studies
Important Notes
  • The American Studies program only offers two courses on its own (AMER 110: Introduction to American Studies and AMER 200: Topics in American Studies) that are not cross-listed with other departments’ courses. The remaining courses that flesh out a student’s curriculum reside in other departments and are cross-listed with American Studies.
    • AMER 110: Introduction to American Studies is only offered every other academic year.
    • AMER 200: Topics in American Studies is a team-taught course offered annually in the spring, and there is no transferable equivalent at McHenry County College.
    • Many other courses at McHenry County College may apply to the American Studies major or minor. It is generally our practice to defer to the home department to decide whether a McHenry County College course has an equivalent. If the equivalent course is cross-listed with American Studies, then there is no objection to counting it toward the major or minor. For example, the McHenry County College course “HIS 170: United States History 1” if approved by the History department as an equivalent to HIST 200: Foundations of the American Republic, would also be cross-listed as AMER 210, and therefore apply toward the American Studies major or minor.
    • If there is no equivalent course at 91¿´Æ¬Íø, but the student feels as though the course is compatible with American Studies, then the student should appeal to the chairperson of American Studies who will make the final determination.
  • A maximum of four (4) courses from McHenry County College may be used toward a 91¿´Æ¬Íø American Studies major. A maximum of three (3) courses from McHenry County College may be used toward a 91¿´Æ¬Íø American Studies minor. Requests for exceptions will be considered by the chairperson on a case-by-case basis.
  •  McHenry County College credits may not be used to fulfill the AMER 110 or AMER 200 requirements (see above), or to transfer in as any course at the 300-level or above, including the Senior Seminar requirement (AMER 485)

Important Notes

  • All majors are expected to take English 210 at Lake Forest, including transfer students. Should a student wish to have this requirement waived because of courses taken at the McHenry Community College, appeals will be considered by the chair, but students should be aware that the bar for such appeals is high.

Important Notes
  • A maximum of four (4) courses from McHenry County College may be used toward a 91¿´Æ¬Íø History major. A maximum of three (3) courses from McHenry County College may be used toward a 91¿´Æ¬Íø History minor.
  •  McHenry County College credits may not be used to fulfill 300-level 91¿´Æ¬Íø courses (including History 300), nor may they be used to fulfill the Senior Studies Requirement.
  • All majors are expected to take History 110 at Lake Forest, including transfer students. Should a student wish to have this requirement waived because of courses taken at McHenry County College appeals will be considered by the chair, but students should be aware that the bar for such appeals is high. Successful appeals will demonstrate that 1. methodological skills taught in 110 have been mastered; 2. a non-western History course has been (or will be) taken.

Important Notes
  • In most cases, if a MCC student were to (hypothetically) take all the regular philosophy offerings at MCC, unless the topic for MCC’s PHL 290 matched one of our required courses for the major, she would have taken only electives toward the 91¿´Æ¬Íø Philosophy Major, and would have all seven of the required courses still to take.
