The History minor at Columbia College equips students with valuable skills in critical thinking, research, and analysis that are highly applicable to a variety of careers. By exploring key events, movements, and figures across different periods and regions, students gain a deep understanding of historical contexts and their relevance to today’s world. The program emphasizes effective communication, argumentation, and problem-solving-skills that are essential in fields such as education, law, public service, journalism, business, and beyond. This minor is an excellent complement to any major, enhancing students’ career readiness in an increasingly complex global landscape.

Minors
A minor is defined as a course of study of at least 18 semester hours outside the student’s major. Academic minors may be earned in disciplines as specified by the department faculty. Requirements are a grade point average of 2.0 or higher for 18 or more semester hours. Courses for the minor may also meet general education or major requirements, and at least 9 of the required hours must be earned in Columbia College coursework. (Transfer courses equivalent to courses designated are accepted toward the minor.) Majors and minors may not be added to an already earned degree. In some curricular areas, the College offers courses totaling fewer than 18 semester hours. In these areas, students may earn additional semester hours through transfer credit so the total semester hours earned meets the required number of hours (see Evaluation of Credit and Testing ). Main Campus Day students can participate in cooperative cross-enrollment with the University of Missouri - Columbia and/or Stephens College (see Advising and Registration ). Specific Requirements
