Overview

The History major at Texas A&M San Antonio offers both diversity and flexibility, with courses covering a wide array of regions and time periods. Students will develop as readers and communicators of history, conducting original research and presenting their work before campus and public audiences.

The students learn to think, analyze, and problem-solve like professional historians, not only in the classroom but also in research archives and internships.

The History program currently offers Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees in History, History with Secondary Teaching Certification, and History with Social Studies Teaching Certification. Undergraduate students can also minor in History.

The History graduates have gone on to post-baccalaureate programs in History, Law, and International Relations. Many of our History with Teaching Certification graduates are teaching in public and private schools in the San Antonio area.

History majors will have the opportunity to study with accomplished scholars and award-winning teachers.

The faculty have published widely in the history of Texas, the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands, Latin America, Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, comparative genocide studies, early modern Europe, and the Islamic World. In addition to regular courses in these areas, we also offer capstone research seminars, which introduce students to a range of source materials, historical methods, and interdisciplinary modes of inquiry.
