Bachelor of Arts, Major in History
Our students learn not only to understand our present society against the background of the past, but also analyze how this understanding is itself shaped by changing contexts.
Graduates of the AB, Major in History program enter the fields of education, research, journalism, heritage conservation, tourism, and politics. A comprehensive grasp of history is also a natural first step for students who wish to enter law school or apply for the Foreign Service.
