Undergraduate Program


The Department of History prides itself on maintaining relatively small classes to facilitate a close cooperative relationship between students and faculty members. Such an environment fosters a positive learning experience by encouraging intellectual exchange. Undergraduates who major in history work toward the Bachelor of Arts degree. Upon completion of the required introductory courses in world and United States history, a student may choose from a wide variety of junior- and senior-level courses. These include advanced courses in the history of the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The department also offers a minor in history and a graduate study program leading to a Master of Arts degree.

In addition, the Department of History participates in the following interdisciplinary programs: African Studies, American Studies, Asian Studies, the Baylor Interdisciplinary Core (BIC), Church-State Studies, Latin American Studies, and Slavic Studies. Students have the opportunity each year to meet and hear lectures by a nationally known historian when the department presents the Charles Edmondson Historical Lecture Series. Furthermore, the department sponsors the annual speaker for Women's History Month. Qualified history students are encouraged to apply for membership in the departmental chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the international history honor society.
