Public History Minor

Students minoring in Public History must take a minimum of 18 credits. The minor requirements for History majors differs from that for other majors, as indicated below.

History majors may not double-count courses for the minor and their major. No student may count courses taken towards General Education towards their minor or double-count courses in their major for their minor (ex: If a History major is also an Anthropology major, they may not count a course twice if wishing to include an Anthropology course as an elective for the minor.)
