How many hs curricula include breadth and depth in history? This OP needs to consider what history it is. Many colleges with “big” history depts barely glanced at the periods my kid was interested in. So it’s wise to do as Ucb says- check the courses, who teaches them, those profs’ real interest areas and so on. Gettysburg, eg, is strong in US and some others, but not all.
We ran into schools where a course may be taught by a non-specialist, depending on who was available, if they had not hired an area specialist- eg, at one school, some Mediterranean course was taught by a religion prof.
My kids had complex requirement for cores and breadth- but the sci could be any lab course, from geology to astronomy. Nothing says a kid has to retake bio, unless it is that school’s mandate. They usually have some leeway. And maybe even those interesting classes for non-majors that add new perspectives/applications.
