History students at the University of Utah explore the cultures, events, and peoples of the past. In doing so, students better understand the present and can plan for the future. The History major helps students to develop the ability to write clearly and interpret complex information, ensuring that they are able to offer creative solutions to challenging problems, handle ambiguity, and work across cultures. Courses cover the world from ancient Europe and Africa to modern Asia and the Pacific, and from colonial Latin America to the American West. Students are encouraged to follow their passions by selecting courses to create an area of concentration: the history of politics, science, gender, environment, science, religion and more. Regardless of their focus of study, students will ultimately develop a capacity for careful and rigorous thought and cultural competence, abilities that promote success in careers at home or around the world.
