Bachelor of Arts in History - General History

The General History concentration is an excellent choice for students planning for careers in history, government service, or other professional occupations requiring broad intellectual and practical skills, and it offers students maximum flexibility with History electives so students can pursue their own intellectual passions across our curriculum.

Students need to submit their most-recent transcripts or mark sheets. If a record is not in English, a certified literal English translation must accompany the official transcript. Only transcripts sent directly from the school or stamped and sealed are considered official. Admissions decisions are provisional until we receive your final transcript verifying graduation. In general, students with a 3.0+ GPA (on a 4.0 scale) and a steady or upward trend in grades are admitted to CSU.
