Bachelor of Arts - History

A Bachelor of Arts in History or a minor in history will sharpen students' minds and open their eyes, giving them the confidence to say, “I know who I am because I know my history.”

Additional program highlights include:

• Students in our courses are guided by professors who are outstanding writers, engaging speakers, and leading experts in their fields. Our faculty members have written for The New York Times and the Washington Post, and been interviewed on PBS, NP, and St. Louis Public Radio. 
• The history undergraduate program hosts vibrant extracurricular events that help students network, hone their skills, and share their passions for history.
• The department’s stellar internship program allows students to pursue their particular interests while deepening skills and professional connections. Through internships, SLU's history majors and minors have diversified elementary school curricula, shaped museum exhibitions, created podcasts, and researched historic foodways for an award-winning St. Louis restaurant.
