HISTORY MINOR
Description. The Department of History offers students the
opportunity to minor in History by completing 18 credits (six
courses) in the department. The first 6 credits form the core of the
minor and encompass the general education requirements in history.
After completing the core courses, students are invited to select from
the electives offered by the Department of History to complete the
minor. At least one elective must be at the 300-level to complete a
History minor.
Rationale. The study of history supports the analytical skills desired
by many graduate programs, including law schools, by teaching
students to evaluate evidence, and to present and defend arguments
about historical change based on evidence. It also provides students
with important information about the world in which they live, the
process of social change and the factors affecting it, and the creation
and evolution of cultural institutions. Students with a strong
historical background will be well equipped to work in public
institutions because they will have a coherent understanding of the
purposes and limitations of public systems. They also will be
excellent employees in private institutions because they will
understand and be able to support the social and economic purposes
of private industry. Finally, students who have studied history make
more conscious and active citizens, because they are aware of the role
of race and class in America. They are cognizant of the rich history
of America's political institutions and their civic responsibilities to
use, protect, and maintain their political and legal rights.
