History Minor
Coordinator:
Timothy Kircher,
Department of History
The history minor focuses on understanding the relevance of past events to contemporary concerns, researching the range of primary sources (oral, written, visual), reading these sources in the context of other information in order to determine the bias both of the sources and of their interpreters and writing and speaking clearly about the result. Our courses embrace actors and events from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the United States from the pre-Christian era to recent times.
The minor in history is not available to history majors.

The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (four courses) in one of the following three geographical clusters. Each student taking the history minor must take at least one 300-level course within their chosen geographical region.
