History
The Bachelor of Arts in History is a traditional liberal arts program and provides the breadth for careers in such diverse areas as government, public service, business and industry, archives, museums, historical preservation, writing and research. The objective of this major is preparatory rather than terminal and vocational.
A Bachelor of Science in History is offered for students with interests in combining a liberal arts discipline with a more traditional science-oriented minor. The objective of this major is similar to that of the B.A. degree, but the general education requirements of the B.S. provide a different focus within the total degree program.
Advanced Standing Requirement
Majors in history may be admitted to advanced standing in their major when they have 1) been assigned an advisor in their major; and 2) completed, with a grade of "C" or better, at least one course in each of the areas of history, government, social science and humanities/philosophy from the General Education Requirements.
