History - B.A.

What to Expect in the History Program
The History program isn’t about memorizing dates and taking tests—it teaches you how to think logically and analyze in order to form your own opinions. You’ll explore original texts and speeches from the past in seminar-style classes to facilitate an open learning environment. You’ll develop the essential qualities to prepare you to be a leader in your own right, whether you choose a career in business, law, or higher education.
