Overview

Through the History BA course from the California Lutheran University you will learn that studying history isn’t about memorizing dates. It’s about gaining insight into the way our world once worked and how that influences societies today. By understanding the past, you’ll be able to offer a clearer perspective on modern global issues.

Explore topics important to you

In addition to learning about general world and U.S. history, you’ll examine specific topics in depth, such as the Civil War, Medieval Europe, the Middle East, the Cold War, and women in history. Choose the ones that interest you most!

Go where the history is

International travel courses will allow you to explore histories at the sites of their creation. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in internships and engage in projects that will bring you to the archives, libraries, and other sources of primary data in Southern California.

Contribute your unique perspective

Connect with the intellectual community by joining the National History Honors Society, Phi Alpha Theta. Plugging in to this large and growing professional network of historians will allow you to share your ideas and take an active role in the collective understanding of history.
