History Minor
Students can declare a minor in history through meeting with a History advisor or a university academic advisor (e.g., at Tykeson Hall or the Office of Academic Advising).
The current primary Advisor for Undergraduate Studies can be contacted at HistoryAdvising@uoregon.edu.
The faculty advisor helps develop a plan that directs the course of study and ensures timely completion of the requirements.
