Online Bachelor of Arts in History


The History program equips students with the skills to collect, analyze, and summarize data and the ability to apply those skills to construct arguments and use evidence to support them. Students of history develop skills in research, analysis, creative problem solving, and written and oral communication. These skills, along with the strong critical thinking skills that students of history hone, prepare students for a range of careers. Many History majors pursue careers in education (at all levels), management, law, administration, business, sales, government, museums, national parks, library sciences, banking, journalism, and politics. 


The skills history teaches–critical thinking, data analysis, writing, and argument–prepare students to adapt and succeed in the rapidly-evolving employment marketplace. To see more of the potential career paths that History students can pursue, take a look at  W.W. Norton's visual overview of popular careers for history majors.
