Minor in History

A minor in history consists of a 15 credit hour program to be arranged in consultation with a departmental advisor, and filed with the departmental office.

The program for a minor must be arranged at least one semester before graduation. At least nine of these credit hours must be at the 200–level or above. History minors must take five courses in at least two geographic areas. HIST-H 217 The Nature of History is recommended for all history minors.
