Minor in History
School of Arts and Sciences
The history minor is intended particularly to provide students with an opportunity to add the perspective of a traditional liberal arts discipline, one which offers exposure to both Western and non-Western societies. Although open to all, it should prove especially relevant for students in pre-law, criminal justice, public relations and/or journalism, education, and the helping professions.

"To understand the future, you have to understand the past. History is a great background because it allows you to put things in perspective and teaches you a sense of chronological order and time management -- important skills for business."
