Bachelor of Arts in Applied History

Lamar University

Lamar University's Bachelor of Arts in Applied History prepares students to apply historical research, interpretation and techniques outside academia, often for museums, archives, historic sites and government agencies. This objective of this program is to focus on practical skills like curation, digital archiving and historical preservation rather than just academic research. By enrolling in this program, you will develop key skills such as archival management, oral history techniques and critical communication of historical narratives. Internships with historical societies, museums or archives are common in this field. The Department of History also offers a B.A. in History and a teacher certification.
