University General Course Catalog 2024-2025
History (Global History Specialization), B.A.
|
|
 Return to: Programs in the College of Liberal Arts
Political pundits, journalists, and scholars frequently assert that “We live in an increasingly global society.” But what does it mean to live in a “global” society? And have the lives that we live actually become increasingly global over time? The Global History Specialization of the History BA offers students the historical tools to critically analyze past events and lives around the globe, and to comprehend different viewpoints for understanding the connections among different parts and peoples of the world. While students can concentrate on global history in non-U.S., comparative, international, or transnational contexts, all students will gain an understanding of how “living globally” has changed and developed over time.
