Minor in History
For students who want to broaden their educations, the study of history provides a context for understanding the world and develops analytical abilities, verbal and written communications 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.
