History Degree
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
The history bachelor’s degree prepares Minnesota students for graduate studies in history, law school or seminary. The program also provides students with the Christian foundation, academic excellence, content and skills to present themselves to employers in museums, education, government, business, library science and public administration.
Faculty members teach history from the perspective of God’s ultimate sovereignty, with confidence that God is in control, assuring us that the events of history ultimately work out according to His plan. In addition to the Christian Studies core, the program includes diverse electives with which students can customize their major with an emphasis in history.
The History BA is an excellent pre-seminary program, offering the biblical and general educational foundation that the American Association of Theological Schools and evangelical seminaries suggest for seminary and ministry-oriented graduate schools.
