Bachelor of Arts in History

The baccalaureate curriculum is organized for students who hope to place their world in historical perspective. Education in history at the University of Illinois Springfield is broad-based humanities training, providing students with research capabilities, analytical methods, and communication skills that are useful in many fields. The curriculum prepares students for careers in fields such as history, politics, government, business, law, journalism, writing, and administration. Through internships, students are able to test career possibilities where the research and analytical skills of the historian are appropriate. The Department of History explores links between the past and our contemporary world. History helps us craft narratives of the past based on the interpretation of a wide range of artifacts from the past. Through the study of history students learn to compare elements of their own culture with those of other cultures and from other time periods. Students consider the impact, lives, and perspectives of individual men and women in the histories of both the United States and the world, while appreciating the significance of national and transnational structures and forces such as cultures, economics, the environment, gender, religions, politics, and war. Students examine historical perspectives that are well represented by documentary record and consider ways of recovering perspectives that have been silenced.
