A Minor in World History can provide a deeper and richer appreciation of global history for non-History majors by providing a grounding in the historical context of your chosen area of study. For example, students who major in Economics, International Studies, World Languages, Political Science, and other fields will gain valuable insight into the historical contexts of global modernization, migration, conflicts, the effects of colonialism, competition for resources, or economic development. Students with knowledge of historical context, analytical writing, research, and communications skills will have an advantage in the job market and a more diverse resume.
