About the Program

Expand your view of the world and gain a better understanding of how events of the past shape the future.   All History majors may transfer up to 18 units toward the major.

With a major in history, you will learn about cause and effect as you examine the human record and discover both continuity and change in historical events over time. History majors may either receive a Bachelor of Science degree or a Bachelor of Arts degree if they complete intermediate courses in a modern foreign language. Talk to your adviser about applying to the departmental honors program in your junior year and about writing an honors thesis.

Global Survey Courses.
