The Bachelor of Arts in History at the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, is designed to offer students a broad and rigorous exploration of history. The major requires the completion of 36 credits, including courses in pre-1800 history, a US survey, global understanding, skills courses, a specialized concentration (chronological, geographic, or thematic), and upper-level writing. Students work with advisors to select focus areas, and opportunities are available for internships in local museums and study abroad scholarships. The program cultivates critical thinking, research, and writing skills essential for careers in education, law, public policy, research, and related fields.
