BA in History

History is the study of past events, people and eras. The discipline involves research, reading and writing, with an emphasis on interpreting and analyzing information. The history program at Valdosta State University is a good choice for students interested in the discipline who want to broaden their educational horizons and prepare for a number of careers or graduate school.

Welcome to Valdosta State, a comprehensive university - meaning we offer associate, bachelor, graduate, and doctoral degrees - that serves the heart of South Georgia in one of its largest cities.

We love palm trees, live oaks, fountains, and sunny days on the Front Lawn. Our students love hands on experience, individual faculty interaction, and unique experiences like undergraduate research in the Florida Keys. Settled just fifteen minutes above the Florida state line, Valdosta State University offers in-state tuition to residents of Florida, as well as South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee.

Valdosta State offers the best of both worlds — the extensive academic, cultural, and social opportunities of a major university and the small classes and close personal attention found at smaller institutions.
