The Minor in HistoryRequirements:
- A minimum of 16 points in history (typically 4 courses) with the grade of C or better in each course. (No pass/fail courses may count towards the Major or Minor.)
- At least 3 advanced-level history courses (course # V57.0100 or above).
- The 4th course may be introductory level (V57.0000-V57.0099) or advanced. V27 courses taught by history professors are considered advanced history courses. V70 courses taught by history professors are introductory.
- 3 of the 4 courses must be taken in the NYU History Department.
Important Guidelines:
GSP Courses
- Students that have transferred from GSP to CAS may apply one GSP course towards their history minor: Social Foundations I & II or the Non-West Civilization course. This course will always be counted as introductory. If you transfer to the History dept from GSP, your remaining 3 classes must be advanced and taken within the history dept (V57.0100 or above).
Courses Outside of the History Department
- Courses cross-listed with the history department and V57-courses taken during study abroad will count towards the history minor.
- Courses taken within CAS but not cross-listed with the history department must be approved by the DUGS. Students can petition for up to one course to count towards their minor by bringing the syllabus into the History Department and filling out a course petition application. No course is guaranteed.
MAP Courses and Freshman Honors Seminars
- MAP courses (V55) and Freshman Honors Seminars (V50) can only count towards the history minor if they are taught by a history professor.
- MAP courses (V55) and Freshman Honors Seminars (V50) can only count as introductory courses.
Double Counting of Courses
- Only 1 course may be double counted between the history minor and another major or minor.
Internships, Independent Studies, and AP credit
- No Internship, Independent Study, or AP credit will be accepted towards the history minor.
