The Department of History offers to all students of the university courses of general cultural and educational value. It seeks not only to acquaint students with the development of human civilization and with their duties as citizens, but to advance them toward their vocational and professional objectives.

The major in history with the Bachelor of Arts degree is recommended for those seeking a liberal education and aspiring to careers in history, law, theology, journalism, and library work; in local, state, and national public service; in business where a knowledge of domestic and foreign affairs is desirable; and in every area which requires an understanding of human activity.

The major in social science with the Bachelor of Science in Education degree is offered specifically to prepare teachers of social science in institutions of secondary education.

The Department of History also offers a Certificate in Digital Humanities that prepares students to apply the critical thinking, creative skills, and subject knowledge of the humanities to practical work in the digital world.
