Bachelor [History] From Marquette University

A global perspective

You will begin your history major with surveys that provide a global perspective on the past and then choose six specialized courses on Western civilization or U.S., European, Latin American, Asian or African history.

Learn from the professors who are doing the research

The classes they teach are drawn directly from their scholarly work about crime and punishment, children's history, religion and politics, comparative imperialism, Irish nationalism, urbanization, and rock 'n' roll!

Breadth and depth

History majors have the chance to study the history and cultures of societies around the world in depth through small-group seminars, colloquia and senior experience courses.

Intern. As a history major?

You bet. As a Marquette history major, you'll gain valuable — and relevant — experience through internships with the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Milwaukee Public Museum, City Hall and Old World Wisconsin. Don't forget about the Les Aspin Center for Government's congressional internship program if you're looking to be a part of history as it's made on one of its brightest stages.
