Minor

A minor in history is a good companion to several different degrees including political science, economics, anthropology, and sociology. The writing and research skills that the minor in history allows students to develop are also excellent preparation for those planning to enter the fields of law, politics, and public service.

Minor in History

The Department of History offers a Minor in History for non-majors who wish to complement their major field of study. This six-course option (18 credit hours) allows students to gain a broader perspective on human events while developing their abilities in historical research, interpretation, and analysis.

Students may petition the Department to include up to 3 credit hours of relevant 300- or 400-level courses offered by other departments to count toward the minor. However, no course may be taken more than once for credit toward the minor.

*Consider adding a Minor in History to your Bachelor of Arts degree. A Minor in History complements and works well with the  below majors.
