CAS.HST.BS - Bachelor of Science - Major in History

The History major is chosen by students who have a variety of interests and objectives. It offers excellent preparation toward teaching, research, journalism, Christian ministries and graduate study. History majors desiring to teach in secondary schools need to major in History and Social Studies Education. The History major combined with a major in Philosophy/Religion serves as excellent pre-seminary preparation. Also, the History major often serves as a companion double major with Accounting, Art, Biblical Literature and Language, Biology, Business Administration, Communication Studies, Computer Information Systems, Criminal Justice, Economics, English, Intercultural Studies, Mathematics, Music, Political Science, Political Science Pre-Law, Psychology, Theology and Philosophy, Social Studies, Social Work, or Writing. In addition, the National Security Studies minor makes an excellent companion with the History major. Students majoring or minoring in History must maintain no less than a 2.25 GPA in the History major/minor.
