Public History Minor
The Public History minor provides students with knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience that can be used as preparation for a variety of careers in public history such as local, state, and national historic sites, archives, and museums. This minor draws on the strengths of the History and Arts Managements programs to provide students with the opportunities to combine expertise in history with applied learning in areas such as fundraising and marketing.
