History offers a framework for understanding the complexities of modern life, the development of nations, social groupings, major intellectual currents, and economic and political trends-as well as other disciplines-in their historical contexts. History majors approach these issues through a wide-ranging study of historical subjects and periods. The major prepares students for careers in teaching, government, the law, banking and business, media, historical sites, museums and archives, and other areas.
A cumulative GPA of 2.75 is required for graduation as a History major. A cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required for graduation as a History Major with Teacher Certification. A cumulative GPA of 3.75 is required for graduation with History – Honors Option.
