BA in History - African History in San Francisco United States | University of San Francisco

We challenge the notion that history is fixed or limited to bygone eras. By analyzing contemporary happenings through a historical lens, you'll develop profound insights into how past events shape today's challenges, both locally and globally. We urge you to reflect deeply on your role in society and to participate actively as an informed citizen. Students can focus on particular regions - Europe, the United States, Latin America, Asia, Africa, or the Islamic world - or opt for a broader examination of world history. USF's History program provides both specialized knowledge and wide-ranging perspectives that uncover the intricate nature of human civilizations across time.

Our diverse yet cohesive historical studies curriculum prioritizes cultivating analytical abilities, research methodologies, and communication proficiency. This program particularly benefits students pursuing careers in education, legal fields, public service, nonprofit work, institutional research, management, or those planning advanced academic studies or professional development.
