History students not only learn what has happened, they also learn to appreciate and understand the process of change. It's this perspective that makes the history minor an excellent complement to nearly any major. Adding a history minor will ensure that you have excellent writing and critical thinking skills. No matter your major field, these skills are always in demand.
