Bachelor of Arts in History

Program Overview

Students studying history at Jessup will find themselves well prepared for graduate study in a number of related disciplines in the liberal arts as well as law school. Students planning on entering seminary will find in a Jessup history major a suitable course of study as well – particularly when considered along with the Bible and theology classes required of all students. In conjunction with the Teacher Education program, students should be well prepared for a single subject credential in history.

The History major at Jessup is unique in that it not only reflects a traditional history curriculum found in the best Liberal Arts institutions but also requires several courses offered by the English and Public Policy departments. Consequently, this makes for a stronger, better-rounded major. Reflecting Jessup’s deep roots in Evangelical Christianity, a required course in the History of the Renaissance and Reformation, as well as electives such as American Religious History and Early Church History, add a further unique flavor to the program. Concentrations in American History, Classical Studies, and Church History allow students to specialize in a variety of historical fields and time periods.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Demonstrate significant general knowledge in and understanding of history
  • Engage in informed dialog with culture
  • Evaluate the various cultural underpinnings and applications of the course of study.
  • Describe various philosophical approaches to the discipline and determine how those approaches fit in with current approaches to other disciples.
  • Undertake significant primary research in a historical subject and communicate the findings.
  • Think and write clearly and analytically.
  • Be prepared for graduate study in a variety of programs.
