History
Bachelor of Arts
Challenge what you think you know about people, power and the world we live in. Bucknell history majors learn through doing as they study the struggles, worldviews and development of human societies in different times and places.
Investigate the past and develop skills for your future in an atmosphere that encourages critical thinking, social justice and civic engagement. You'll learn to think analytically, argue logically and write compellingly — and prepare for the job market.
Recent history graduates have pursued careers in education, communications, law, business development, teaching, medicine, the entertainment industry, nonprofits and more.
