History Minor (15 credits)

The study of history trains students to uncover the forgotten voices and diverse perspectives of the past and explain their relevance to society today. It prepares students to make critical evaluations of long-term transformations that continue to shape the contemporary world, like industrialization, imperialism, globalization, racism, and environmental change. History minors develop skills that are vital to meaningful careers and engaged citizenship. The History minor includes one introductory course followed by a broad choice of elective courses.
