Course Overview

History is central to a liberal arts education and a defining feature of the Jesuit tradition. History has long been considered the foundation of the humanities because it provides a general framework and a unifying perspective for more narrowly specialized disciplines. Students who pursue a Bachelor of Arts in History at Saint Louis University discover that real stories are often much more fascinating than fiction, and the detective work needed to dig into sources can be thrilling. A degree in history from SLU equips students with skills that make them highly desirable in the ever-changing job market, including analytical thinking, effective use of evidence, research and writing skills, rhetorical abilities and an understanding of cultural differences.

Highlights of Saint Louis University's history major:

  • Seminars take SLU students to archives and museums to view letters, diaries and photographs from decades and centuries ago. Upper-division courses can take students to places like Rome and Ireland where students can dig into the ruins of castles and ancient cities. Students are offered travel money to visit archives and historical sites in the United States.
  • SLU's history honor society, Phi Alpha Theta, sponsors an annual undergraduate research conference. Seminars are small enough for students to present findings in detail to classmates, providing an opportunity to sharpen valuable research, writing and communication skills.
  • SLU's history program offers firsthand research experience and an internship program that allows students to partner with local museums, nonprofits, religious institutions and corporations. Students can build windows into the past through historical records, manuscript collections and photographs.
