B.A. History

In the program, History B.A students at NJIT will engage in strong academic work and dynamic research collaborations with distinguished faculty and fellow students. Through their work, History B.A. students will be able to apply useful skills in careers that require strong background in reading and writing. They will also develop a sharp analytical eye, as well as the ability to comprehend and communicate diverse perspectives, complex problems and solutions. We aim for students of the program to meet the following specific learning outcomes:

• Students can communicate effectively, both orally and in writing.

• Students examine information and data in historical sources and draw logical conclusions from them.

• Students will have problem-solving skills required to learn how a past idea, event, or person has affected the present.

• Students demonstrate proficiency in seeking and using information efficiently, effectively, and ethically.

• Students observe and practice applications of concepts learned in a real-world setting.

• Students develop independent research skills to examine and process information from a large number of historical documents, texts, and other sources.
