BA in History

If you want to change things in the present, it helps to know how people changed things in the past. History examines all aspects of recorded human experience (social relations, cultural expressions, political events, economic activities) and seeks to understand how the thoughts, actions, emotions, and habits of people have changed over time.

Program Options

You may choose to do a major, a combined major, a minor, a concentration, or an honors degree in History. A major requires the completion of 8 units of History, while the combined major consists of 6 units of History and 6 units of your other combined major.

The minor requires 3 units of History, and the concentration (taken as part of a BA in General Studies) requires 4 units. History courses taught both on-campus and at a distance, may also be taken as electives. All 1000- and 2000-level courses are open to all students and have no prerequisites. For more detail, check out the program description.

Honors degree

As an honors student, you’ll study History in more depth by writing a thesis on a historical topic of your choice, supervised by a faculty member who is an expert in their field. View examples of honors thesis topics.
