History Major
Bachelor of Arts Degree
History presents how God has worked in the affairs of men and how man has conducted himself since
the Creation. This fascinating story shows how to judge events and movements. Beginning with
History of Civilization as a broad sweep of all recorded history, students study individual
countries and major historical movements such as the Reformation, 19th century Europe, and church
history.
The history major teaches students to judge data and summarize information which is vital to many
professions. History majors have entered fields of law, politics, journalism, education,
management, religion, and social sciences.
Academic Requirements: Students must have at least a “C” in all history
and political science courses, Church History, and Reformation. A minor must be completed.
Academic Program Fee: $30 per semester or $7.50 per payment.
