To graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in history, a student must have earned 42 credit hours (with a C or above in each course counting toward the major). These 42 credit hours consist of 21 core requirement hours and 21 300-level or above credit hours. Before earning a major in history, a student must complete two foundational courses. These are “ HIS 102 History of the United States through 1877 - AH (3 credits) ” and “ HIS 103 History of the United States since 1877 - AH (3 credits) ” (one of these will count toward the Culture and Creativity category of NKU’s Foundation of Knowledge program). All students majoring in history are required to participate in outcomes assessment, as stipulated in instructions provided to graduating seniors each semester.
