Could you elaborate on this? I hold an associate's that I want to upgrade to a full Bachelor's in CS; I'm looking at my options for a minor and History is one.
- FranzFerdiNaN 8y agoWhile i love history, my advice for a humanities minor would always be philosophy, unless you have a really specific reason to want to go for history. But in terms of developing critical thinking skills there is no substitute for philosophy.
- AstralStorm 8y agoThere are a few "substitutes"... Or rather strong derivatives devised from hundreds of years of philosophy. 1) Advanced mathematical logic. 2) Advanced statistics. 3) Advanced control theory or systems. 4) Experiment design. All of these usually post-graduate and they feed one into another... You need pretty strong algebra and mathematic proof reading skills too.
