U-HIST-MIN - History - Minor

Program Overview

The history minor allows students specializing in another department or program to enrich their studies with an historical perspective. History courses provide an opportunity to investigate the past, gain perspective on the present, and improve their critical faculties. History provides an integrating principle for the entire learning process, and students of history gain a sense of human development, an understanding of fundamental and lasting social processes, and a feeling for human interrelatedness. History courses train the mind by improving skills in the rigorous analysis of evidence as well as helping you to communicate effectively and with imagination. Those who graduate with a major or minor in history are to be found in all walks of life and all fields of the economy, society, and culture.
