The interdisciplinary minor in public history allows students to examine the ways the historic method is applied outside of the classroom. For students seeking a career in public history, the minor will better prepare them for advanced study in specialized programs. In addition to history courses, students can explore related disciplines such as anthropology and can take specialized courses in fields such as marketing, management or advertising. Students interested in this minor should see the public history adviser in the Department of History. As students select courses to meet the requirements for the University Core of Common Studies (UCCS), they should pay close attention to the list of recommended courses for this minor.

Recommended courses that satisfy UCCS requirements include:
ANTH 1001	Introductory Anthropology
COMM 1100	Contemporary Presentation
or ENGL 1002	Rhetoric and Composition 2
ECON 2003	Principles of Microeconomics
