North Carolina Studies Minor

The minor in North Carolina studies is an interdisciplinary program that requires 24 s.h. credit. The minor provides students with a comprehensive natural and cultural history of North Carolina and a knowledge of the contemporary conditions and issues that history has created. The program requires an introductory course, a senior research seminar, a series of core courses, and electives drawn from the following disciplines: anthropology, biology, English, geography, geology, history, and political science. Courses taken to meet foundations curriculum requirements cannot be used to satisfy the requirements of the North Carolina studies minor but 3 s.h. of coursework from a student’s major can be accepted as credit toward the minor. The student’s minor program must be approved by the director of the North Carolina studies program.
