Military History Minor

A minor in Military History is recommended for students considering careers in which an understanding of organized conflict would be beneficial, such as military service, foreign or intelligence services or international law.  A liberal arts minor can also be an asset for students majoring in professional disciplines like management, marketing or journalism. 

If you enjoy studying military history, or are/were a member of the armed forces, this is an ideal way to earn academic credit in a familiar subject.  The minor offers a comprehensive range of courses.
