History, B.A.


The Bachelor of Arts in History at Anderson University offers students a strong liberal arts foundation grounded in a Christian educational environment, preparing them to analyze, interpret, and engage thoughtfully with the past and its influence on the modern world. Through the study of diverse cultures, historical periods, and global developments, students deepen their understanding of human societies while strengthening their research, critical-thinking, and communication skills. The program also provides exceptional flexibility to tailor studies to individual interests and career goals, encouraging specialization and making it easy to add a double major or minor in disciplines such as Political Science, Public Policy, Communication, Criminal Justice, or Business. Graduates will be well prepared for careers in education, public policy, archival work, journalism, business and nonprofit leadership, or for advanced study in history, library science, theology, or law.
