History investigates the profound and surprising differences between past worlds and our own, and at the same time measures the common ground between them. The study of history teaches students to analyze the many forces that shape human experience and to appreciate how heterogeneous societies are, even within a single historical moment. A minor in History consists of five upper division HIST courses (15 semester hours), excluding HIST 4990 or HIST 4990R.
