Overview

History students know that to understand the present, one needs explore the past. In that effort, our students exercise their skills in critical thinking, conducting research, and crafting compelling arguments in the courses the Department offers that span centuries and encompass the globe.

Students of the History (Secondary Education - Teacher Certification in History, Grades 7-12 (with Double Major in B.A. Education)) program from Texas State University are encouraged to reflect not simply on their career goals, but also on what type of persons they want to become.

General Requirements

The general education core curriculum courses are listed in the degree plan below along with the statewide component code number. The History courses HIST 2327, HIST 2328, HIST 2381, and HIST 2382 are for general education core curriculum credit only and are not allowed for the major in History.
In addition to the general education core curriculum requirements, the Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.) requires three additional hours of English literature, three additional hours of math/science/logic/computer science courses, six hours of 2000-level modern language courses, and a minor.
