HISTORY

Available On Campus.

History seeks to understand and to explain the story of human experience, since the past provides the only laboratory of human experience actually lived.

Villanova's Department of History offers an undergraduate Bachelor of Arts (BA) in History that is available to adult students in the College of Professional Studies. The department aims to provide students with a broad range of courses and other educational opportunities to develop their historical awareness, perspective and understanding. The courses have been developed to provide instruction and guidance that enables students to apply sound historical research skills, and trains them to understand the standard forms of historical expression, to critique historical arguments made by others, and to produce historical arguments themselves.

To view information on concentration areas, requirements and a complete list of available courses, visit the Department of History's website.

One of three majors offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Science to adult students in the College of Professional Studies, pursuing a History major may require you to complete daytime courses to fulfill requirements.
