The minor helps students develop strong analytical, research, and communication skills by exploring the cultural, social, economic, and political forces that shape historical change.
How do individuals, societies, and cultures change over time? History students interpret the cultural, social, economic, and political factors that shape these changes, developing their intellectual agility, curiosity, and responsibility and their skills of historical analysis, critical reading and writing, and research. They go on to graduate studies in history and related fields, to professions such as law and teaching, and to careers requiring high-level analytical and communicative skills.
