Bachelor of Arts degree in History

A Bachelor of Arts degree in History provides a general understanding of the complex factors influencing human behaviour. The discipline of history is a central pillar of a liberal arts education playing an essential role in helping students think critically and develop their ability to communicate complex ideas. History graduates are expected to be proficient in written and oral communication, conscientious and exacting in research, and thoroughly grounded in analysis and interpretation skills. Graduates have ultimately pursued careers in a wide variety of fields, from education to public service. Moreover, history remains among the premier pre-professional degrees for students intending to study law or medicine.
