BA in History - United States 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 worldwide. We urge you to reflect deeply on your role in society and to participate actively as an informed citizen. Students can focus on particular areas - Europe, the United States, Latin America, Asia, Africa, or the Islamic world - or investigate worldwide historical connections. USF's History program provides both specialized knowledge and broad perspectives that uncover the intricate nature of human civilizations across time.

Our diverse yet cohesive historical studies curriculum focuses on cultivating critical analysis, investigative abilities, and effective communication. This program particularly benefits students aiming for careers in education, legal fields, public service, nonprofit work, organizational research, or administration, as well as those planning advanced academic studies or professional development.
