Minor in History

For students who want to broaden their education, the study of history provides a context for understanding the world and develops analytical abilities, verbal and written communication skills, and the critical thinking that is the bedrock of active citizenship. It is also good preparation for a broad array of careers, including business, education, government, and law.
