Description: The Utah Tech State University baccalaureate program in History is comprised of a Bachelor’s of Arts (BA), a Bachelor’s of Science (BS), and a minor. The BA degree requires proficiency in a foreign language, which can be fulfilled in a variety of ways. The BS degree requires Social Sciences coursework beyond the core and electives. Both degree paths prepare students for advanced study in History, Law, and related areas, or to enter the workforce in business, government, journalism, or numerous other professional fields. This degree focuses on historical knowledge, historical thinking, building critical analytic skills, and writing in an organized and persuasive manner. In addition, a unique degree emphasis, the BA or BS in History and Social Sciences Education, is designed specifically for students seeking secondary teaching careers and prepares them to teach American, World, and Utah History, along with Political Science, Geography, Economics, Sociology, and Psychology. This emphasis also includes a Secondary Education (SCED) teaching certification which qualifies students to secure employment at the high school level immediately upon graduation. The minor in History prepares students from a variety of disciplines to contextualize their studies within the human experience through exposure to a variety of perspectives and research methodologies that augment their skills in almost any profession or area of graduate study.
