Academics
Minor in History The Department of History offers students the opportunity to earn a 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 requirement in history, HIS 231 and HIS 232. 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.
