Historical Studies, Minor

The Historical Studies program offers a minor for students who are majoring in another field, but who wish to pursue their love of history or enhance their professional credentials.

For the minor, students are required to complete five HIST courses (including courses cross-listed with another program) or approved electives with a grade of C or better (20 credits). No more than three courses should be at the 1000 or 2000 level. At least two courses must be at the 3000 level or above.

Students may choose to substitute approved electives for one of the lower-level HIST requirements as well as one of the upper-level HIST requirements, as indicated below:

• HIST course at any level (usually 1000-2000, 4 credits)

• HIST course at any level (usually 1000-2000, 4 credits)

• HIST course at any level or approved elective at any level (usually 1000-2000, 4 credits).*

• HIST course, 3000-level or higher (4 credits)

• HIST course, 3000-level or higher or approved elective, 3000-level or higher (4 credits). *
