Public History, Minor


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Program Offerings (A-Z)

Public history at the undergraduate level can be an important asset to any bachelor’s degree, especially as the minor emphasizes research skills, effective communication, collaboration and public engagement. Through both course work and an internship, students will explore the complex issues related to the role of history in the public arena, further developing professional, marketable skills and gaining practical experience. Emphasis is placed on exposing students to the broad range of skills and issues associated with careers in museums, archives, historic preservation agencies, heritage tourism, historic site assessment, cultural resource management, and other careers that utilize the skills of the historian outside of a classroom setting.

Advanced History


Six hours from HIST 2301 and/or any upper-level (3000-4999) HIST courses.

Total hours: 18
