Bachelor of Arts in History

University of Houston

Our courses are big-surveys in history-and small-seminar-style courses emphasizing discussion. In a history class, it is not unusual to encounter guest speakers, or conduct class on location in an archive or museum. A signature feature of our courses is critical thinking, reading, and writing, which makes history courses exceptionally useful to hone your research and writing skills.History majors are everywhere, with careers in education and government, law and medicine, journalism and the arts, business and science, libraries and museums. In academic year 2022/23, we also introduced professional tracks in history. Those pursuing BA in History can now additionally choose a concentration in one of the four areas (Energy and Environment Law and Public Policy Public History Science, Medicine, and Technology) within the existing major requirements.
