Applied History Minor
The Applied History Minor introduces students to the skills required for a variety of professions related to the practice of history. With an Applied History Minor, students can also fulfill the "L" area of the REAL program.
This minor is 15 credit hours, and it helps to prepare students for work in museums, archives, historical sites, public agencies, and business. Students gain a grounding in history through public history and digital archives programs and, then, through electives from a variety of disciplines can customize the skillset that they wish to develop. Hands-on experience working with historical documents is provided through the collections at the Center for Archives and Digital History.
Students who want to pursue Digital History will gain stepping stones to do so through the Applied History Minor. Digital History is a growing field that taps rapid advances in computing, software, and telecommunications to develop fresh perspectives on the past. GIS, 3-D imaging, data analysis, document capture technologies, and online communications open a gateway to vocations in web design, analytics, and GIS visualization.
