As a history student, you’ll learn from some of the most respected history scholars in the country in an intimate setting. And you’ll have the opportunity to do research alongside these accomplished historians.

The history and political science department offers a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science in History, as well as several minors. We have also added a new option, which allows you to combine a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science with an emphasis in National Security. As a history major, you can also couple a Bachelor of Arts in History with a secondary education certificate, which certifies you to teach history in grades 9-12 in the state.
