U.S. History (Minor)

The minor in U.S. history allows baccalaureate students majoring in any field other than history the opportunity to pursue an interest in U.S. history beyond that provided in the core curriculum. The program involves a balance of broad thematic courses and courses that are narrowly defined by chronology, and acquaints students with the research tools used by historians to uncover and interpret the past.
