Overview

History is everywhere and everything has a history: film history, art history, sports history, military history, economic history, Classical history, Medieval history, Renaissance history, modern history, post-modern history, the history of science, the history of medicine, and the history of media and journalism are only some of the most commonly studied sub-topics in the field. History is also the basis for several other disciplines including anthropology, archaeology, political science, sociology, and urban studies, and provides important context and insight for disciplines such as literature, philosophy, and international business. Increasingly popular cultural studies, such as Asian studies, Africana studies, and Latinx studies, all have their roots in history, too. Truly, there is a historical subject to interest everyone!

What can you do with a major in history? Practically anything.

Our graduates move on to a variety of careers. They become professional historians; they teach, practice law, work in government and business and some even enter the medical profession. The future is wide open for our graduates with a B.A. in History.
