B.A. History
Overview
The B.A. in History equips students with an understanding of the complex factors that have produced present-day civilizations, as well as helping students become responsible Christian citizens. With an emphasis on systematic research and analysis, students receive instruction in preparation for careers in education, business, government service, public relations, or library work. Their development also prepares them for graduate study in law, theology, history, or political science.
The department acknowledges that God is sovereign in human affairs of the past, present, and future. With that foundational truth, students are aided in developing Christian philosophies of history and politics as parts of an overarching biblically-based world view.
- • Small class sizes offer close teacher-student mentorship and a high-level of scholarship
- • Internships have included the Reagan Library and Illinois Lincoln Center
