History, Bachelor

In a society that prioritizes the present, studying history provides a vital foundation for critiquing and understanding the contemporary world. It pierces through myths, offering deep insights that few disciplines match. The history department stands out for its welcoming approach, allowing exploration of topics from politics to art, with collaborations across programs like African and African American Studies and Environmental Studies.The program is flexible, requiring only two core courses, and features small classes for personalized feedback, nationally recognized faculty, abundant research resources at KU libraries, global opportunities such as study abroad, and practical skills in research and analysis that prepare graduates for careers in law, teaching, international relations, journalism, business, and beyond.
