The History Department also offers a minor in Military History and Grand Strategy. This minor prepares students for careers in the government, military, academia, think tanks, and policymaking as it provides understanding of war and its conduct from a global perspective. This minor is open to all students regardless of their major, and students may enroll in any course even if they do not decide to pursue the Military History minor.
Required Courses
The minor requires 18 credits including the following four core courses:
The minor also requires completion of six additional hours of military history and/or strategy courses from departmental offerings. Students may take the four core courses in any sequence—therefore, they do not have to take each course in chronological order. Students may not count any credits toward both the Military History minor and the history major or the history minor. The minor’s four core requirements may not be fulfilled with transfer credit.
