Undergraduate Minor Options
The same discipline may not be used to satisfy the major and the minor (i.e. English major and English minor does not make a degree.) If a course is a requirement of both the major and the minor, a student may use the course to meet both content requirements but will not receive double credit and will need advisor approval for a course substitution. A minimum of six credits must be taken at UAS.

History
The minor in history provides students with a broad understanding of past cultures, social groups, political economy, nation-states, collective mentalities and civilizations. The minor helps students develop knowledge of historical background and context that supplements their major course of study. By completing this minor, students will develop university competencies in oral and written communication, critical thinking, professional behavior, and a social sciences competency in the appreciation of cultural diversity.
View details of the minor from the Social Science Website.
