A minor in History is intended to introduce students to a nuanced understanding of historical events as well as the methods of historical study. Students pursuing the history minor are encouraged to follow their interests by either gaining broad knowledge of the past of various world cultures or by focusing on the study of a particular region or period of time. To complete a minor, students must take five history courses.  At least 2 of those courses must be 300-level or above, and no more than 2 100-level courses will count toward the minor.  Minors must have a cumulative 2.0 GPA in courses applied to the minor.
