History Minor

The history curriculum is designed to introduce students to the study of the human past. Students minoring in history learn to approach decision-making with an awareness of a broad range of choices; learn to think critically and communicate their ideas effectively; learn to integrate their academic study with their intellectual and ethical development; and understand the construction of historical knowledge. The curriculum emphasizes the role of the student as an active learner and encourages individualized learning experiences, including those outside of established coursework, and the development of close working relationships between students and faculty.
