History majors must complete coursework in both American and global history, while also examining the experiences of historically marginalized groups. They'll learn from faculty experts in political, economic, cultural, intellectual, and social history. This program particularly benefits those pursuing careers in government, public policy, journalism, law, education (from K-12 to higher education), and non-profit sectors, as it develops skills valuable for advanced study or professional work in these fields.
The history curriculum offers diverse courses spanning US, European, and global perspectives, including specialized offerings in women's history, California history, and Chicanx studies. Through exploring political, social, intellectual, economic, and cultural developments, students enhance their academic writing, critical reading, and analytical abilities - competencies that prove valuable across all academic and professional paths.
