History and University Studies “Clusters”
Remember that all incoming students now need to develop a “thematic transdisciplinary cluster” of three themed courses. (link to https://uncw.edu/universitystudies/thematictransdisciplinaryclusters.html)
OR
A minor
OR
A second major
History makes a great minor and pairs well with many other majors, but if you are working towards a cluster, history courses are currently connected to the following “clusters:”
Ancient Thought and Culture—HST 101
Global Diversity—HST 104 and HST 367
Immigration—HST 106 and HST 340
Judaism and the Jewish People—HST 207, HST 208, and HST 385
