Bachelor of Arts in History

The Bachelor of Arts in History provides an examination of the record of God’s relationship with man and the eternal relevance of God’s work and His Word through the ages. Applying a Christian worldview to the study of the historical narrative, students will learn not only about great men and women and their ideas and the rise and fall of civilizations, but they will also be taught critical thinking skills and research methods, all with an emphasis on strengthening writing proficiency. Moreover, this major field of study will incorporate the Great Books and their authors in each course so that the student will be conversant with those individuals and ideas which have shaped the course of human events. Graduates of the program will be prepared for employment in the areas of teaching, government service or public history. They will also have earned a degree which prepares them well for graduate study in history, political science, public administration, library science or law.
