History Minor Requirements
The minor in history offers students majoring in other programs of study an opportunity to pursue a serious interest in history.
- Students must earn a C- or higher grade in all courses used to satisfy minor requirements and may not be taken satisfactory/unsatisfactory. If a student opts to take First-Year Seminar (AS.001.xxx) cross-listed with the History and earns an S grade, this course may apply towards minor requirements even though it is graded satisfactory/unsatisfactory.
- At least 2 of the 4 electives must be taken directly from the History Department. This means that at least two elective courses must be numbered AS.100.2xx-4xx.
