History Minor Overview
Learn about yourself, the world, and the past while building the essential skills desired by employers: critical thinking, clear communication, and analysis of information! Make your degree unique. Make your resume stand out. A minor in history is the perfect complement to many USI degrees. Over half of the 24 credit hours of the program are composed of topical history courses chosen by the student. Studying history at USI is a distinctive experience as you'll have small class sizes and access to exceptional faculty, programs and resources. In addition to a large repository of unique documents and items in campus archives, there is also a significant collection of communal studies materials and USI hosts an assortment of ancient and medieval manuscripts in the Lawrence Library for use in classes and research projects. You'll find that the nearby historic community of New Harmony serves as both an invaluable source of internship opportunities, and as a living laboratory for historical research.
