Major Academic Plan (MAP) Associate in Arts BA in History (50 or 65 credits) Department of History College of the Social Sciences Why Study History? The study of History provides a useful key for unlocking other realms of human development. It embraces many fields of academic inquiry, including social behavior, legal systems, religion, art, medicine, technology, sport, music and more. Historians today explore topics from the causes and consequences of war, to popular attitudes and beliefs, gender relations, race and racism, and the human impact on the environment. As peoples of different social, economic, and ethnic groups interact with each other in the 21st century, understanding each other’s past helps pave the way for more harmonious and beneficial human relations. Employers and professional schools look for skills historians emphasize: excellent communication, solid research ability, and the ability to think critically. The study of history provides a solid foundation for careers in teaching history and social studies, for post-graduate study in many fields, and for careers in archives, museums, government and non-profit agencies, and more. Special Features of History at EWU History students at EWU have ready access to many important local and regional research collections. These include EWU’s University Archives, the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, the Northwest Room of the Spokane Public Library, the Eastern Region of the Washington State Archives, and the state-of-the-art Washington State Digital Archives. The Eastern Region branch of the Washington State Archives, located on the Cheney campus, encourages History students to apply for paid positions at the Archives; our students have also held internships at numerous local agencies. EWU History majors have the opportunity to join the History Club and the local chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, an international history honors society. Along with a faculty advisor, student officers organize the club’s yearly activities. These usually include public lectures, film screenings, and travel to the regional Phi Alpha Theta Conference, where students present their own papers and gain valuable professional experience.
