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 Social Studies, 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.
