Bachelor of Arts in History (Woods College)

Deepen your understanding of the present through an immersion in the events and cultures of the past. Our curriculum encompasses European, American, Latin American, African, Middle Eastern, and Asian history ranging from premodernity to today. Classes introduce you to vital areas of historical research and schools of thought.

As critical thinkers, students apply tools and concepts of historical inquiry and communicate research results clearly and effectively. Students will engage in primary sources in an attempt to better understand the perspectives and viewpoints of other cultures, civilizations, and people. Students will engage in critical analysis of historical texts to analyze how the interpretation of events is altered based on vantage point. Courses will also encourage students to engage the current events of today by drawing connections to the events of the past.

Entering this concentration, students are required to take 5 additional history courses beyond the core requirements. One of these courses must focus on Latin American, African, Middle Eastern, or Asian history.

All students are required to submit an official high-secondary school transcript. This transcript must be sent by your high school and can be submitted online at commonapp.org. Minimum scores of 100 on the iBT 7.5 on the IELTS.
