History

The degree program is designed for students wishing to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in History. The program hopes to present to the student of history a clearer picture of the political, economic, spiritual and social forces which have plotted the course of human history, marked the path of our western heritage, and comprised the events which formed our American experience. Students wishing to complete a pre-professional baccalaureate degree program which will prepare them for further academic pursuits in related fields, including, but not limited to, law or government service, should consider this program. The B.A. with a major in History will also prepare the undergraduate for admission to graduate school. Students who plan to teach history below the collegiate level must complete the requirements for certification in education and endorse in history.
