Online Arts History Degree :: Accredited Universities

Historians explore the past, examining the development of social, political, cultural and economic forces and how they have shaped societies and cultures over time.

This major will help you to make an impact and help society overcome and adapt to the challenges of our changing environment.

Learning about History means learning about change in the world and in ourselves. History is unavoidable, and having a better understanding of history makes us more broadminded as people and citizens.

History is a topic as large as our recorded past. Our cultural heritages, literatures, arts, religions, politics, economics, social behaviours, buildings, and landscapes all derive from past influences.

The breadth of papers offered allows you to explore your own particular interests. Examples of available topics include the history of New Zealand and the Pacific, Britain/Europe, pre-industrial societies, colonisation, social and political history, or contemporary history.
