Overview

Majors of the History program of the Bemidji State University have entered careers in high school or collegiate teaching, law, government, business, religious ministry, library science, book editing, and museum work. Historians make good legislators, journalists, business leaders, and authors. A history major pairs well with Social Studies Education, Business, Pre-Law, English, Philosophy, Political Science, and other degree programs.

Learning Outcomes:

History majors obtain these high-demand skills from the BSU History Program:

Writing and Oral Communication Skills: We prepare students to make effective written and oral arguments based on solid analysis and evidence.

Analytical Skills: Historians evaluate both primary sources produced by people in the past and secondary sources written by other historians, understanding how assumptions, biases, and interpretations change over time. Our history classes ask students to pinpoint problems and their solutions. History majors consider why events occurred and what their significance is.

Research Skills: Our history program helps majors grow comfortable finding, organizing, and using a variety of formats (online databases, books, journals, archival materials, etc.) to uncover source material. By the time you graduate, you will be able to trace an issue’s root, find new information related to that issue, and incorporate that information into your own analyses.
