the careful selection of courses from the Core Curriculum structure.<br />

4490)—are available to all students who have successfully completed the prerequisites.<br />
REQUIREMENTS FOR A MINOR IN HISTORY<br />

CONCENTRATION IN PUBLIC HISTORY<br />

The Department of History offers a Public History concentration for History majors as well as a<br />
Public History minor open to all students. These options are designed to offer interdisciplinary<br />
training to those interested in pursuing a career in public history. Both the concentration and the<br />
minor provide a strong basis in public history, focusing on research, critical issues in the field,<br />
and practical hands-on experience through the internship. These core History courses are<br />
supplemented with interdisciplinary electives designed to augment the student‘s proficiency in<br />
administration and communication in the public setting.<br />
Graduates with a minor or concentration in Public History will have the foundation for pursuing<br />
a variety of careers, including those in archives, museums, historic sites, editing, corporate<br />
history, non-profit organizations, oral history, historical preservation, cultural resource<br />
management, and local, state, or national government agencies.<br />

competency in the basic components, knowledge, techniques, and practical application of<br />
public history;<br />
