Bachelor of Arts - History

The BA degree allows students to develop the knowledge and core competencies characteristic of a traditional BA program, while preparing them to respond creatively and innovatively to a range of challenges in our community and our world. They will gain the literacy and analytical competencies demanded by twenty-first century employers. Equally importantly, they will become a better-informed citizen of our increasingly interconnected world.

History students will benefit from our faculty's commitment to teaching excellence and from the small class sizes at KPU. In our lower-level courses, students will begin to build the critical thinking, intercultural, and analytical competencies necessary to succeed in upper level history courses. At the upper-level, they will undertake in-depth studies of particular areas or important themes in global development.
