Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [History] From University of Illinois

From ancient Rome to contemporary China, from the Civil War to Viet Nam, from Latin America to the African Diaspora: whether you want to learn more about the situation in today’s Iran or the situation in Germany before World War I, this is the place for you. Whether you’re interested in gender and sexuality, law and society, science and technology, race and diversity, money and power – we have a course for you. 

Better yet, we have a whole range of courses that will allow you to put together a comprehensive program of undergraduate study. At the same time, we’ll encourage you to develop expertise in a specific area of history. By the time you graduate from Illinois, you will be a producer of history, a participant in the making of new historical knowledge. You may even win a grant that would enable you to pursue an independent research project.And you’ll have acquired skills of critical thinking, analysis, and communication that will be useful for a lifetime. Our graduates regularly go on to work in education, publishing, journalism, government, public policy, business, and a range of other fields. A number also go on to law school or graduate school.
