Two options are offered for the History major, and each by itself leads to a B.A. with a major in History. Option A is primarily for those who plan to enter professional schools, such as law, and for those who want to pursue advanced work in history at the graduate level. Option B is designed primarily for those who want to enter government service, business, or teaching at the secondary level.

When taken in conjunction with the Teaching and Learning program in Secondary Education, Option B satisfies the requirements for teacher certification in the Social Sciences. Prospective teachers should seek an advisor in the College of Education and Human Development in addition to their advisor in the History department.
