History BA

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.

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.
