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.

    University of Calabar and issues faced

    I am an 100 level History and International studies in UNICAL. It is quite an interesting program as we have intelligent and we’ll seasoned lectures although a very inconvenient space for learning. Students often stand or sit on the floor for lack of seat but it is important to include how students are very captivated to learn. For my school as a whole, I can attest to the fact that the environment is serene and there is good security for students. It is also relevant to note the current vice chancellor is a female which makes me proud and motivated that as a woman, I can achieve anything I want to irrespective of my gender even with the whole gender inequality we are facing in the world. Above all, My school is good but will be better if well improved in spaces for student to learn, more shuttle buses for student’s transportation, easier ways to pay fees as queue is a barrier to pay on time and a host of many other issues. Thank you.

    My story

    My journey in Unical so far has been so eventful, the lectures tried their very best to help we the students understand the program better and the extracurricular activities like projects, field research e.t.c are really top notch but the federal university will always be federal university(strike). So my advice to incoming students will be to chase your dreams irrespective of the obstacles which may lie ahead and I will definitely recommend it to people cause Unical has programs which other universities don’t and Unical put it’s students’ life before any other needs and accommodation wise I will give it a 7/10

    An honest review

    According to the rating above, in my opinion, it is a poor institution for studying. The administrations run the school poorly; there aren’t enough lecture halls and there aren’t enough facilities. Here, professors frequently focus more on padding their own pockets than educating students.
