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, this is an ideal way to earn academic credit in a familiar subject. Students who complete the military history minor will have satisfied the general studies requirement in history and need not take any more 100-level history courses.
