Bachelor of Arts in History

University of Mary Hardin - Baylor

History majors learn how to consider the diversity of human experience in all corners of the world. Through their courses, they learn to make the past accessible by preserving the collective memory of varied places and times and to use information, evidence, and argumentation to identify and explain continuity and change. History students learn how to think critically, how to communicate through writing and speaking, and how to argue from multiple viewpoints about a given event, development, or historical legacy. Through the study of history, students not only expand their historical knowledge but also come to understand the complexities of human nature and life.The history major prepares you for a wide range of professions, from teaching to government work, or for continuing your education in graduate school, law school, or seminary.
