Undergraduate Programs

Make your mark in history

Studying history is much more than remembering dates and names.

History helps you think critically, analyze data, ask the right questions and build cultural awareness.

Majors: Earn a bachelor's degree in history

Majors are the starting point for the career you want to pursue. They can also prepare you for admission into advanced degree programs (master's, PhD, JD, etc.).

You'll enjoy learning new insights from history's diverse courses, ranging from the history of the Ozarks to the peoples and cultures of ancient Egypt.

Your classes are taught by respected scholars who have decades of experience and accolades.

History majors go on to work in research, law, politics, teaching, civil service and other fields.
