B.A. in History

History helps you understand the world and your place in it. Earning a degree in history means diving into the stories, ideas, and events that shaped how we live today. You’ll explore everything from ancient civilizations to modern movements, learning how politics, culture, science, and beliefs have influenced people across time and around the globe. You’ll also discover that history isn’t just about facts—it’s about asking questions, seeing patterns, and thinking critically about how we understand the past.

With expert professors and a wide range of courses, you’ll study topics like colonial America, Islamic civilization, or global environmental change. Along the way, you’ll build skills in research, writing, and analysis that prepare you for careers in law, business, government, education, and more. Most importantly, you’ll learn to think like a historian—curious, informed, and ready to make sense of a complex world.
