Students who are interested in pursuing a History minor are strongly encouraged to meet with an advisor among History faculty as soon as possible to design an appropriate course of action.
History courses for which the student has attained a grade of full C or higher (=GPA of 2.00 or higher) will be applied toward the BA degree. History courses taken as credit/no credit will be applied toward the degree if a grade of CR is attained. History majors may repeat program courses for grade improvement only once without seeking program approval.
