University offers courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree
with a major in History, with concentrations in either American or
European History. The program is designed to instill in students a
broad and analytical outlook which is essential for a truly educated
and productive citizen. Lower level courses focus on acquisition of
historical knowledge, historical thinking, writing skills, and
conceptual analysis. Upper division courses and seminars emphasize
historical research, evaluation of sources, and critical historical
analysis. The history faculty assumes that an objective and accurate
assessment of historical trends will cultivate in each student a
greater awareness and appreciation of contemporary society and lead
to greater individual awareness and appreciation. Employment
opportunities for liberal arts graduates in general, and History
majors in particular, are expanding significantly. History graduates
are qualified to enter fields such as teaching, law, foreign and
government service, paralegal professions, business, communications,
and research. Both the major and minor in history prepare students
for related graduate studies.

HIST 1301, 1302, 1350, and 1351, and 2350.
