纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿分校

You’ll study the rise of American industry and the development of American labor, world wars and America’s growing influence on world affairs, the impact of immigration, the birth and explosive growth of mass culture, and the struggles to extend American democracy to excluded groups.

Our Bachelor of Arts in history program gives you an understanding of themes and context about the experience of the past. Here there is no rote and tedious memorization! Your courses and out of the classroom experiences prepares you for a broad range of careers such as business, law, education, human services, nonprofit organizations, museum work, and the arts.

A majority of your history courses are divided among three geographically distinct fields of concentration: American history, European history, and the history of Asia and the Middle East.

To get the most out of your undergraduate study of history or if you plan to do graduate work in history, we strongly recommend enrollment in the University Honors program and to consider undertaking a senior thesis. Faculty advisors will help you develop programs of study emphasizing honors courses pertinent to the major and will direct independent studies and honors theses.

We also encourage you to consider studying for a semester abroad in your junior or senior year. The opportunity to study a country’s or region’s history “on site” is invariably a broadening and deepening experience.
