Minor in History
Students in programs other than History can add a History Minor to their degree. History is an excellent complement to any social science or humanities subject.
Special courses
The introductory HIST 200 is a first-year seminar that takes a deep dive into a historical subject. These small classes, each taught by one of the department’s professors, both explore the focused topic of the course and introduce students to historical skills: how historians make arguments, how they use historical evidence and other scholars’ writing, and how they communicate their ideas.
Several sections of HIST 200 are offered every term, each with a different topic. History Specialization students take courses at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels and to explore the varied fields of history to fulfill breadth requirements. See the appropriate Program Guide for details.
Program guides for Minors
