Why Minor in History at PBA?
A history minor is a valuable addition to any major. Studying history can help you learn how to think critically about historical events, a skill that can be useful in any career.
Studying history can broaden your worldview as you learn about other cultures, traditions, and ways of thinking. History minors often apply their knowledge in careers like business, law, government, politics, and journalism.
