BACHELOR OF ART: HISTORY

History is a study and analysis of the events of the past, but what is a BA in History? A Bachelor of Arts in this field of study allows students to explore an incredibly diverse range of historical events and the contexts in which they occurred.

History students become informed citizens who know how to think critically, communicate effectively, and understand and appreciate diversity while they evaluate and present different interpretations of the past. They uncover evidence and use it to explain the meaning and impact of events in local, national and global contexts.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Analyze diverse experiences of or viewpoints on past events or historical developments.
  • Recognize both continuity and change over time and describe their consequences.
  • Complete a substantial historical research project, identifying and interpreting primary and secondary sources and communicating results effectively in writing and orally.
  • Construct arguments that explain how history can inform the present.
  • Evaluate credibility, position, or perspective of various forms of historical evidence.
  • Compare and connect local, national, and global histories.
  • Create complex interpretations of the past collaboratively with public audiences.
