History Minor (E, A)

The History Minor prepares students to think critically about change and continuity in a variety of societies and cultures in order to help them to understand our increasingly global, cosmopolitan, and diverse world. This minor introduces students to the methods and the use of basic tools of the historical discipline. It offers courses organized along thematic, geographical, or temporal lines that provides students with historical perspectives and insights into the world and the forces and events that shaped it. The minor is designed to give students some flexibility to choose courses that align with their intellectual passions and personal interests. Students are offered the opportunity to read analytically, think critically, and write effectively. A minor in history is an excellent complement to many of the degree programs offered at the university.
