About Bachelor of Arts - History
History interprets the past for the present by exploring the institutions, ideas, cultures, and creations of men and women in the context of time and place.
It is focused on change over time; both change of the subjects of study and of historians’ attempts to make sense of those subjects. History ranges over all of recorded human experience, drawing from and placing in context the achievements of the arts, sciences, social sciences, and other humanities.
Students will learn to evaluate evidence critically, to sift and organize evidence fairly and persuasively, to analyze the evidence for its patterns and meanings, and to integrate this into a broad scope of human experience. Historical study provides perspective, helping individuals to place their own lives, values, and world events in context, and to recognize the processes of change that have brought them to the present.
Working from these general principles and the special strengths of its faculty, the history department has designated the following 5 specific outcomes of a major in history.
Students who graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in History will be able to:
- Develop historical research questions, formulate appropriate research strategies, and critically evaluate evidence about the past;
- Develop and defend historical arguments, demonstrating an understanding of different theoretical approaches to historical interpretation;
- Effectively communicate, in clear and convincing prose, an understanding of the causes of historical change;
- Evaluate the influence of new digital and multimedia formats on the practice and presentation of history; and
- Describe several varieties of experience found in the historical record and explain why diversity is a critical component of history.
