History Minor
A minor in history is much more than a chronicle of the past; it is a toolkit for understanding the complexities of the modern world. By exploring diverse cultures and eras, you develop the high-level critical thinking and research skills necessary to synthesize vast amounts of information into clear, persuasive arguments.
Whether paired with a major in business, criminal justice, or the sciences, a history minor demonstrates a sophisticated ability to analyze context and see the "big picture." This perspective is invaluable in any career that requires informed decision-making and a deep understanding of human behavior.
Complete degree requirements for a minor in history and a listing of courses are available in the Undergraduate Bulletin.
