Welcome to the Bachelor of Arts History

The Bachelor's in History program offers a broad and diverse historical study that emphasizes the value of historical thinking. In the classroom, you will study everything from ancient Egypt to the Soviet Union. Many classes include experiential learning that takes students into the community for hands-on experiences or that challenges students to role-play major events in history. Outside the classroom, you'll meet nationally known historians through the department's Strickland Scholars program and can study abroad on faculty-led programs to Scotland, Senegal, Vietnam, and other locales. You will also have access to a range of scholarships available only to History majors at MTSU.
