Minor in History

Introduction
The Minor in History provides students with the tools necessary to understand human experience and thought in different places and times. History as a discipline covers every dimension of human interaction, from the study of social life and cultural practices to political thought and philosophical views. Students of history learn to make sense of the present in terms of the past, and the past from the vantage point of the present. In history, students study individuals, groups, communities, and nations from a multiplicity of perspectives and across various time periods. Documents comprise the primary data historians examine, and studying history allow students to hone their analytical skills and develop convincing arguments. Equipped with these skills, students of history will be prepared for a number of careers from the civil service to jobs in education, public relations, advertising, publishing, and news and other interactive media.
