History represents the record of all human experience and helps fully illustrate the forces that influence the world. It is central to a liberal arts education and a defining feature of the Jesuit tradition. History has long been considered the foundation of the humanities because it provides a general framework and a unifying perspective for more narrowly specialized disciplines. Students who pursue a Bachelor of Arts in History at Saint Louis University discover that real stories are often much more fascinating than fiction, and the detective work needed to dig into sources can be thrilling.
