    Undergraduate Degree Programs

Students may choose to either major (39 semester hours) or minor (24 semester hours) in history. The history area also offers three degree programs for students who wish to prepare to teach at the elementary or secondary levels.
The program is designed to expose all history majors to a diverse array of courses, while at the same time allowing the student the flexibility to take additional courses in his or her field of interest. It offers integrated perspectives on political, social, economic, cultural, and military factors that have shaped the city, the state, the nation, the region, and the world. The curriculum also helps students prepare for professional examinations such as the ExCET and the GRE.

Students who continue their education beyond the bachelor's degree -- who go on to attend graduate school or law school, for example -- benefit from the rigors of the history program. With a low student-teacher ratio in upper-division classes, students will enjoy easy access to faculty and research resources. Prior history majors at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi have gone on to complete additional degrees at such prestigious institutions as Yale, the University of Texas, Johns Hopkins, and Rice. Please consult the current University catalog for specific details on courses and requirements, especially for those relating to teaching programs.
