Women’s History (Minor)

A minor in Women’s History explores the role and relevance of women throughout history.

The program emphasizes the integration of women’s stories and experiences into the traditional history narratives and how highlighting these experiences challenges our understanding of the past. The minor covers the full span of history with courses that focus on specific historical women and issues that affect women.

In a world of increasing turmoil and change, Women’s History minors are grounded in wisdom and are poised to apply Christian principles and a biblical worldview in their professions of choice.
