Bachelor of Arts - History

Ohio Wesleyan University offers a broad range of U.S., European, Pacific Asian, and Latin American history courses. Students have a great deal of creativity and flexibility in designing a program that suits their personal and historical interests, whether by taking listed courses or pursuing independent studies with individual faculty.

The History major provides both breadth and depth of historical knowledge, combined with a focus on how to think critically, write cogently, research carefully, and speak clearly. These vital skills will help students no matter what career they ultimately choose.

Students who have a strong interest in a particular topic, wish to earn departmental honors, or plan to attend graduate school may submit a research proposal for a two-semester independent project.
