History Minor Requirements

The Department of History instituted a Minor program starting in the Fall of 1992. The current requirements are as follows:

  1. A total of 21 hours in History, of which at least 12 hours must be upper-division. Courses intended to count for the minor may not be taken on a pass-fail basis, and students must earn a C- or better in any course to be counted toward the 21 hour minor requirement.
  2. At least three hours (one course each) must be taken in each of the three following geographical areas: the United States, Europe, and World Areas (the latter field is comprised of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, China, Japan, and South Asia).
Additional Information about the minor program
  • 2000-level History courses, and courses taken for Core Curriculum credit are applicable to the minor 4000-level courses may be used to fulfill both upper-division hours and geographic area hours.
  • HIST 1800 and all 3000-level HIST courses are restricted to History majors. 3000-level courses may occasionally be taken by minors if the course is not full as of the second week of drop-add, and/or you have written permission from the instructor. See the History Academic Advisor to register.
