The KSU History degree prepares you for careers involving critical thinking, research,
and oral and written communication. The history degree also serves as a prerequisite
for graduate study in several fields, including history, education, law, theology,
and many other social science disciplines.
History majors acquire relevant skills such as research and writing, while being exposed
to the theories of the discipline and the various fields of history. Students will
work with faculty experts to complete a capstone experience including two research
seminars or complete a Senior Thesis to develop a writing sample for career advancement
or graduate study.
A degree in history prepares students for careers in government, the international
arena, law, theology, business, journalism, education, research, non-profit work,
and graduate study.
Learn Critical Thinking and Analytical Skills
Critical thinking and analytical skills are necessary for most jobs today. In the
History degree program, you will learn process and synthesize information, analyze
situations and arguments, and logically assess issues and problems. These skills will
prepare you to solve complex challenges creatively.
Double major consists of two separate majors in the same baccalaureate degree (for
example, Bachelor of Arts with separate majors in History and International Affairs). One diploma will be issued for the degree.
Students are eligible for a double major when the following conditions are met:
All of the requirements for two KSU majors are satisfied, including all residency
and institutional requirements for each major; and
KSU courses taken to meet residency and institutional requirements of one major may
be counted toward the residency and institutional requirements for the second major;
and
The second major must be completed at the time of graduation with the first major.
Whether in one degree or two, students may not graduate with more than two majors.
