Bachelor of Arts in History

Program Overview

The most important questions in a history classroom at Seattle University are “how” and “why.”

Equipped with these two questions, our students analyze the past in order to understand the present.

Our courses give students the theoretical, methodological and research skills necessary to seek answers to the questions that matter today.

We help students develop nuanced responses that are attuned to the intersections of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, ability, religious affiliation, time period and geographic location. 

The department’s emphasis on historiography—studying the existing histories of a subject—is especially unique in undergraduate curricula.

We teach students how to analyze a range of primary sources—myths, archeology, architecture, novels, poetry, paintings, photographs, diary entries, census data, treaties and cartoons—for audience, message and bias.

History of women and gender, empires and colonies, US, Latin America, the ancient and medieval Mediterranean, and African diaspora are some of the departmental strengths.
