About This Program

The history minor requires students to gain both depth and breadth in history. Students must select a concentration, which enables them to acquire significant knowledge of one theme or area of the world; they must also take courses outside the concentration, which encourages geographic and chronological breadth. Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a minor course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a minor course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.
