Revised curriculum commencing Fall 2013

The History Minor presents an excellent opportunity to explore the past and its meaning for today's world, either across a range of areas and themes from ancient civilizations to contemporary issues in historical perspective, or through focusing on a particular region, period, or approach. In addition to developing research, analytical, and literary skills that students need in order to take their place in the world after graduation, the Minor may be used to fulfill a number of other objectives. These include pursuing personal interests in History, enriching understanding in students' primary fields of study by deepening their historical expertise related to those fields, and providing training and expertise of direct relevance in areas where students wish to seek employment or pursue further studies.

The History Minor is administered and delivered by the Department of History.

The History Minor is not available to students in the History program, or to Arts and Contemporary Studies program students who choose the History Option.
