Bachelor of Arts - History

The field of history is one of the central disciplines of the liberal arts and it provides a classic mode of learning. It also is a popular and interesting major to pursue, because everything has history. At its core, history deals with real people and events, and it offers limitless opportunities for intensive exploration.

Students learn through class discussions, debates and a senior thesis project; have the opportunity to study abroad for a semester; take elective courses that allow them to customize their course of study based on their interests; or double major or minor in a complementary field of study.

Students will also develop their critical thinking, research, and writing skills, and gain an education in logic and reasoning. These are core skills that will serve them well as they attend law school, pursue an advanced degree in a range of disciplines, or start their career in a variety of fields or industries.
