Minor in History

With a Minor in History, you will engage in coursework that examines five centers of civilization in Afro-Eurasia during their defining moments. When focusing on the Origins of the Great Traditions, you will learn the historical contexts that gave rise to China’s classical philosophies, India’s transcendental worldview, the Judaeo-Christian-Islamic synthesis, and African mytho-religious systems of thought and Latin-European culture in the West. This minor emphasizes cross-cultural influences and connections that are still important today.
