[back to top]Minimum GPA Requirements
A grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or higher is required in history courses taken at the University of Oregon.
[back to top]Advising and Entering the 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).
If they have not already done so, once you join the minor you must promptly schedule a meeting with a History advisor, who will aid students to formulate a plan of study to complete the minor.
- The current primary Advisor for Undergraduate Studies can be contacted at HistoryAdvising@uoregon.edu. Include your 95# in your email.
- The faculty advisor helps develop a plan that directs the course of study and ensures timely completion of the requirements.
