Bachelor of Arts in History
The bachelor's degree in History trains students in the use of basic tools and methods of the historical discipline. It exposes students to a broad span of modern history, a wide range of perspectives and approaches, and such fundamental categories of historical analysis as race, class, gender and ethnicity. Students develop habits of mind associated with history as a discipline, including an awareness of change over time, an ability to make reasoned arguments about historical events and developments, and a sensitivity to the varieties of historical experience.
The History major consists of several specific core courses and elective requirements. It provides students with a solid foundation in historical methods while allowing them to tailor the major to their personal and professional interests. Students develop their program of study in History in consultation with a faculty advisor.
