Understanding the past is key to building the future. Through the study of power, people, ideas and institutions from our past, you'll learn to analyze the forces that shape society and our lives.
The BA program in history introduces students to a broad span of history that covers the ancient world through the modern period and extends from Europe to Latin America and the United States.
In addition to learning about the origins and development of various peoples, ideas and institutions of the past, students engage in the practice of history by learning to conduct research, analyze historical evidence and formulate arguments using historiographical perspectives and methodological approaches.
