A note on internships
The History Department recognizes that internships are a valuable way for students to connect their classroom learning to future careers. Some History majors and minors have completed internships at institutions directly related to History (Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Historical Society, Newberry Library, etc.). Our students have also completed internships at other types of companies and institutions that allowed them to utilize the skills of a History major/minor (political campaigns, non-profits, etc.). We encourage our students to seek out these opportunities. Internships do not, however, fulfill any of the nine credits required of History majors or six credits required of History minors (see above). Rather, they will appear as “extra” History credits on the student’s transcript (a tenth course for a major, or a seventh course for a minor, for example). For more information, see our “Internships and Careers” page.
The Minor in History consists of six courses, one of which must be at the 300-level or above. History 300 is encouraged but not required for the minor.
