Bachelor of Arts - History

History is a response to the eternal desire of human beings to know more about themselves. For this reason, history students experience a variety of courses, which emphasize the importance of people, their individual choices, their values and their ways of seeing themselves and their world. History majors study humans' accumulated heritage from the fossil past to the nuclear present.

This varied course of study includes fundamental survey classes, specific chronological or topical investigations, and special topic seminars. At Missouri Science and Technology individuals who hold Philosophy of Doctorate degrees and are publishing scholars teach virtually all of their history and political science courses. The hallmark of the program is individual attention. In upper-level courses, efforts are made to keep class sizes small enough to enable discussion, which in turn provides for a greater breadth of knowledge and depth of understanding, and for personal student-professor associations.
