What are the requirements for a Minor in History?
Students wishing to minor in History must take 12 credits of
100 level or higher history courses and have a cumulative GPA
of 2.75 or higher for these courses.
How do I declare a Minor in History?
To declare a minor in history, students must first complete all
12 credits (four courses) of 100 level or higher history courses.
It is strongly recommended that History 100, "The American Experience,"
be included in these four courses. Once all of these courses
have been completed, students will need to obtain a "Request for
Minor" form from the Registrar's Office, to complete the top portion
of the form, and to deliver the form to the History Department
for completion. Students who complete the final History
course credits in their last semester before graduating will need
to turn the form in to the History Department before the courses
are completed so that (assuming all requirements have been met)
the Minor can be recorded on their degree and transcript.
What will a Minor in History do for me?
A Minor in History offers the following advantages to students:
- It can reinforce your major degree by providing an additional
point of view (in this case, historical) on that particular
topic
- It can strengthen your academic record by demonstrating that
you have gone one step further than other students by planning
ahead for a minor that enhances your major field of study.
- It tells prospective employers that you have the skills and
knowledge to analyze the present in terms of the past.
- It demonstrates that you have the ability to communicate
ideas and concepts both orally and in writing.
