Bachelor of Arts - History

The California Lutheran University’s History Department offers a challenging curriculum in the Bachelor of Arts in History that explores all aspects of history.

The lower division courses center on the acquisition of an introductory knowledge of the history of world civilizations and the United States and the core skills a historian needs to succeed in more specialized course work. Upper division courses offer students a variety of specialized classes, seminars and independent studies, which allow more in-depth exploration of specific topics. Faculty-led travel courses allow them to explore histories at the sites of their creation.

The History majors have the opportunity to participate in interesting internships as well as engage in projects that bring them to archives, libraries and other sources of primary data in Southern California. Graduates may also participate in student-faculty research projects that aid them in developing their own goals and research abilities.
