The history major and minor are offered jointly by Rutgers University-Newark and the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and draw on faculty and courses from both universities. At Rutgers, the history major and minor are offered for both Newark College of Arts and Sciences and University College-Newark students.

The major in history gives students a broad grasp of world history and the cultural backgrounds of many segments of contemporary society. Students learn methods of historical research and exposition that may be applied not only by the professional historian but also by those interested in pursuing careers in government, law, the media, education, business, and other fields. Although not a requirement, proficiency in at least one foreign language is recommended, especially for students who are considering graduate study in history.
