About Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science - History
Program Description
In UW-Superior's History program, students engage an increasingly diverse and interconnected world in deep and meaningful ways. By studying various world regions, and the connections among them, students gain a better sense of their own place in the world and develop the knowledge and skills to navigate an increasingly complex future. The program emphasizes critical thinking and analysis, independent research, and oral and written communications - skills that prepare students for a wide range of life paths.
The History major requires 33 credits distributed across a range of world history fields, including U.S., European, African, Latin American, Asian, and Middle Eastern history. Students also complete coursework exploring the issues of race, ethnicity and gender. All history majors complete a senior thesis in which they independently research a significant historical question of their own choosing. Graduating seniors present their thesis findings publicly at the annual History Thesis Conference held each spring.
The History - Teaching major is intended for students who want to teach history in middle schools or high schools.
The Broad Field Social Studies major with a History Concentration is a comprehensive liberal arts major that includes courses in areas such as anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology and sociology. Students who wish to use this major as preparation for a teaching career must complete Wisconsin Teacher Certification requirements.
