B.A. in History

The History Major cultivates a critical understanding of the human past and develops skills of historical research, analysis, and communication that enable students to engage the world in which they serve in a thoughtful, positive, and creative manner. Graduates may pursue a variety of career paths as communicators, educators, researchers, writers, and public historians. They will also be prepared for graduate school in history, law, or intercultural studies.

By adding just one more year to your undergraduate degree, you can also earn a Master of Arts in Teaching that credentials you to teach history at the high school level!

All four-year Johnson students complete two majors: one in Bible and Theology and one in their chosen field, such as History. Transfer students with substantial prior coursework may complete a reduced set of Bible and Theology requirements instead of the major. Learn more about the Bible and Theology curriculum here.
