What is the History course of study?

A bachelor's degree in history provides students with a body of historical knowledge that enables them to understand local, national, and global events as well as to appreciate the range of cultural diversity that makes up the world community.

What will I learn?

Describe historical narratives of multiple choices and regions across space and time.
Analyze these historical narratives from diverse perspectives.
