History (BA)

Bachelor of Arts in History Major

The History program aims for our students to understand the development of people and nations around the globe and across time. Students will engage in evidence-based and ethical inquiry, generate significant, open-ended questions about the past, and devise research strategies to answer them. Through this framework, students will then learn to read and think critically, conduct research with primary and secondary sources, analyze conflicting information, and make coherent written and oral arguments.
