Overview

At the Bowling Green State University we offer a bachelor degree in History. Today’s historians explore such topics as the causes and consequences of war, foreign policy, popular attitudes and beliefs, religious and legal traditions, the social roles of women, electoral politics, immigration, race and racism, commercial and industrial development, and conflict between social groups.

Key features

In piecing together the puzzle of human experience, historians use many means of investigation and many kinds of evidence. But their goal is always the same: not simply to gather and report facts, but to interpret the past and understand its relationship to the present.

Career Opportunities

Employers and professional schools look for the solid academic background, proven intellectual abilities and mature judgment that the History major provides.

Students use their knowledge, research skills, and communication abilities as a springboard to a variety of careers.

The most common career paths include business, government and law, and museums, schools and universities. There are very few careers for which history does not provide essential preparation.
