Bachelor of Science
The history major at Southern New Hampshire University provides students with the intellectual training and the analytical skills needed to flourish in a variety of careers and to act as a productively engaged members of their communities. Through a combination of coursework and project-based research—enhanced by optional internships and study-abroad experiences—students learn to read and think critically and comparatively about evidence and sources, competing arguments and multiple perspectives, and patterns of individual and collective behavior throughout time. SNHU’s history major emphasizes the ability to research any topic deeply and insightfully and to communicate one’s findings clearly and effectively. SNHU students majoring in history have gone on to graduate work not only in history, but in library/information science, archival management, museum administration, and related fields. Many teach history and social studies at the high school and middle school levels, while others have pursued highly successful careers in law, journalism, government work, and business.
