History (Undergraduate)
The undergraduate plan in History leads to the bachelor of arts (BA) degree. The plan is broadly conceived to include all aspects of human development and heritage: political, social, religious, cultural or philosophical. The undergraduate degree plan in History is not limited to history courses but should draw from the entire range of related offerings including anthropology, art, government and economics.
Students who plan to teach history and/or government in secondary school should select this plan area. For additional information contact the advising coordinator.
There are no specific prerequisites for admission to the plan other than a strong academic record and a lively interest in how ideas, institutions, societies and individuals change and have changed over time.
Degree Requirements
In addition to the general education requirements in Humanities and Fine Arts, students seeking the bachelor of arts degree in History must successfully complete at least 30 semester hours in history, of which at least 24 hours must be upper‑level and at least 15 hours in residence. Students must complete at least two upper-level courses in the History of Europe (could include HIST 3230: Ancient World), one course in Latin American or Non-Western History and two courses in the History of the United States. Among the courses available may be HIST 4931: Selected Topics in History which covers European, Latin American and Non-Western or United States history.
Students preparing for law school should consult the Pre-Law description under the Humanities (Undergraduate) section of this catalog. Students who plan to teach social science (history and/or government) in the secondary school must have dual advisement in both the subject field(s) and education and must file a certification plan with the School of Education.
