BA History

Lycoming's history department offers an intensive and enriching curriculum that helps students cultivate valuable insights about current events through a deep knowledge of the past. A small student-professor ratio helps stimulate thought-provoking class discussion and mentorship. The multitude of exciting study abroad and research opportunities, such as fellowships, summer research grants, and a two-semester research project during senior year, puts Lycoming's history program on par with some of the most rigorous history programs in the nation. A broad-based education in the humanities helps students flourish as critical thinkers, concise writers, and eloquent speakers who are well equipped for careers in historical societies, education, law, journalism, and civil service, or for further educational pursuits.
