Bachelor of Arts or Science - History

The Department of History offers preparation for teachers of history in the public schools and for students who want a well-rounded liberal arts education as a background for a wide range of future careers.

History majors may earn either a Bachelor of Science degree or a Bachelor of Arts degree. The Bachelor of Science degree prepares the student for careers in business, law, or government. The Bachelor of Arts degree prepares the student for similar careers and is recommended for students planning graduate work in history or related fields of study. Careful planning of the undergraduate program, with supplementary courses in other fields, can equip the student for future positions in libraries, museums, archives, or similar institutions and for research-oriented occupations.
