What Is a History Degree?

History is one of the most desired academic degrees amongst students when it comes to pursuing a Bachelor of Arts. 

History degrees are designed to teach you to move beyond yourself and envision other worlds, to explore the interplay between material circumstances and human character.  History combines the careful analysis of evidence with compelling storytelling. Moreover, History degrees aim to increase cultural sensitivity and literacy. 

This degree is divided into various areas of expertise such as Classical History or Art History, which will help students gain relevant knowledge for themselves.

Benefits of a History Degree

History is one of the most versatile undergraduate majors, due to the fact that it touches upon all forms of human endeavour from arts and languages to science and economics.

Candidates studying a History course will also be taught how to effectively collect, analyse, interpret, and arrange a wide variety of sources into persuasive arguments. Thus, having these skills will increase the chance of any graduate finding a job, no matter if it is in this field or not. 

A report from Georgetown University’s Center on Education illustrates that graduates from History majors have the highest salary amongst graduates from all other humanities majors. 

History Degree Structure

History courses are usually a three-year commitment and offer many academic programmes ranging from foundational courses to specialised ones. Some universities even have site excavations, through which students gain more practical knowledge. 

Like most of the degrees, any History course concludes with a dissertation in any chosen area of interest.

    Hodge podge

    Du,is no doubt one of the best education institute in the country comparatively. Brilliant peer group, some seriously good professors, timely exams, a not so rotten curriculum and a strong alumini base. One thing I seriously dislike is there are more than 80 colleges and almost all of them are exclusively open to their students which takes away the feeling of a university.

    A bitter sweet experience.

    You will learn new things. If you are keen into politics this is a place for you. A perfect amalgamation of fun, learning and living to the fullest. However, the administration can sometimes be rigid and slow so you will have to bear few anomalies of the DU administrative processes.

    Education in the national capital

    Delhi university is competitive and has an extremely hardworking lot of kids coming from all over the country. The intake and access to the university are pretty good. Though lacking in technology, the university makes up in that area with staff of accomplished faculty. The exposure within the university varies from one to another.
    There are major administrative issues within the university also accompanied by empty classrooms that are left without teachers for days.

    Overall assesment of the academics and societies

    Delhi University doesn’t offer a lot of opportunities when it comes to humanities courses in terms of career prospects and the syllabus is quite redundant. The professors are excellent and approachable but there is not a lot of scope to pursue academia outside the syllabus. The societies, on the other hand, are quite a handful and offer a lot to learn in terms of extracurricular activities and help in personality building.
