The Global History Minor examines the development of political, social, economic, and cultural processes across borders, cultures, and civilizations. It provides students majoring in various disciplines the opportunity to deepen their research, writing, and analytical skills and acquire global experience (foreign language, study abroad, and internships) that are critical for a range of careers in government, international business, NGOs, and education.
