History Minor

A total of 18 hours is required. One GHY course may be applied to the History minor. Required: 18 hours of HIS, including 9 hours at the 300- or 400-level.

History draws upon both the humanities and the social sciences, and majors in history are expected to supplement their history courses with courses in literature and the other humanities as well as with the social sciences.

Although the Senior Seminar is the only specific course required for a history major, a thorough basic knowledge in both American and European history is expected.

Students are strongly encouraged to enroll in HIS110-HIS111and HIS150-HIS151, unless they have taken similar courses at the college level. Students should take as many history courses as possible.
