Why study History online through OSU?

Our courses give students an expansive understanding of the evolution of civilizations, peoples, countries and institutions. With courses covering all geographic spaces and time periods and particular specializations in U.S. West and military history, students with a variety of interests and career goals will find a home in the Department of History’s online program.

Format

The College of Arts and Sciences offers comprehensive online degrees to fit your busy schedule. Using the latest technologies, we put history courses within reach of students who are not able to attend classes on campus or commit to full-time, face-to-face enrollment due to the time constraints of working full-time or raising a family.

 

Curriculum

The history B.A. requires a total of 120 credit hours. Along with basic general education and Arts and Sciences requirements, history students take two survey courses in world, western, or eastern civilizations, a methods course titled “Introduction to the Study of History,” thirty hours of upper-division history courses, twelve hours of upper-division courses in related humanities or social sciences fields, and a senior research seminar or project. The flexibility of the degree allows students to complete a minor or a second major often without additional hours.
