The minor in history encourages students majoring in other fields to study history and to organize their historical studies in a coherent way. The structure of the minor requires students to gain both depth and breadth in history. Students must select a concentration, which enables them to acquire significant knowledge of one area of the world and take courses outside the concentration, which encourages an understanding of diverse cultural contexts.

Minor Requirements (7 units)

• At least 3 must be at the 300 level.
