Bachelor's Degree Program (B.A.) in History

Another Option...

The International Studies major draws on many disciplines, including history, to help prepare students for global careers.

An understanding of history requires one to integrate many branches of knowledge. Individual history courses cut across lines of the social sciences, humanities, and even the natural sciences. More important to the history student than learning what has happened is understanding the process of change.

By comparing the human conditions over decades or centuries, the history student identifies fundamental social trends and analyzes critical causal factors. The history student develops research, analytical and writing skills necessary not only for work, but for living. A history major builds confidence for making judgments in many fields of human endeavor.

PLEASE NOTE: Students must declare a major by the time they have completed 60 semester hours of course work
