Building a Major/Minor to Serve Your Learning & Career Goals

As you consider the requirements for History majors and minors, the key words to keep in mind are flexibility and interdisciplinarity. The curriculum has been designed for flexibility so that, with the help of your advisor, you can design a program of study that integrates your learning and career goals. While History provides a fascinating field of study in its own right, we strongly encourage our students to explore the many opportunities for packaging the study of history in a double major or major/minor combination. History, either as a major or a minor, is a wonderful complement to fields like Political Science, Geography, Philosophy, Theology, Catholic Studies, English, Art History, Classical Studies, Communications & Journalism, American Culture & Difference, or Justice & Peace Studies. UST's Renaissance Program allows you to major in History and minor in Business. Such combinations ensure a rich and meaningful educational experierence that will lay the foundation for lifelong learning and growth without sacrificing the practical realities of preparing for a career in education, law, communications, business, government, or the non-profit sector.
