Overview

The major in History and Classics at Providence College offers two tracks: the traditional BA in History and the BA in History/Secondary Education.

Key facts:

As the original interdisciplinary field of study, students approach Classics through a range of courses and interests – archaeology, art, art history, history, language, literature, philosophy, religious studies, and theology. Studying in the Classics enables students to engage with all of these disciplines and trains students to make connections. The study of the Classics teaches analytical thinking, a solid memory, close attention to detail, and the ability to see the “big picture” and small details at the same time.

The History/Secondary Education option is designed to provide in-depth training in history for those seeking careers as high school social studies teachers. Students are expected to fulfill all the requirements of the history concentration and to follow a program of courses established by the Secondary Education Program for secondary teacher preparation. The combination of History and Education courses meets the requirements for certification of social studies teachers in the state of Rhode Island and most other states.
