BA in History

History is literally made here, sometimes in front of your very eyes. Courses often rely on the amazing museum, archive and library resources available to our students, and make field trips to places such as the Museum of American History, the National Gallery of Art, the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Jamestown Settlement, and the Gettysburg Battlefield. Some courses take advantage of the nearby historical resources by meeting regularly at places like Mount Vernon and the Society of the Cincinnati.
