HISTORY MINOR
The minor in history consists of 18 credit hours, and it is based on the following: HIST 114 or HIST 115
(General Education Requirement), two history survey courses, and three upper level elective courses
(300/400 level courses). The core requirements serve as prerequisites for the upper level elective courses
(300 and 400 level in Africa, Europe or United States) that the student may select as part of his minor.
Before a student takes certain upper level courses, he must have completed survey courses among the

must have completed at least one United States survey courses. Moreover, in order to take upper level
courses in either Africa or Europe, the student must have completed at least one World Civilization survey
courses.

Students who wish to minor in history must earn a “C” or higher in all history courses.
