An undergraduate degree in history is a valuable preparation for careers in a number of fields: law, foreign service, politics, journalism, publishing, public relations, teaching, religious ministry, and naturally, historical research and writing. History also serves as an indispensable adjunct to studies in the humanities and the social sciences. In order to graduate with a degree in history, a student needs to earn 37 credit hours in the major. The student must maintain an overall 2.0 GPA as well as a 2.0 departmental GPA.

Interdisciplinary Minors

The English Department also participates in the following interdisciplinary minors:

The Department of English is increasingly viewed as one of the pre-eminent departments at Loyola. For example, professors in the department swept the Faculty Excellence Awards, the first time a single department won all four awards in teaching, research, advising, and community service. Not surprisingly, the number of students majoring in English has grown so much over the past few years that we are approaching the department’s all-time record for majors.

As a Loyola student, you have the opportunity to work alongside our talented professors to partner in collaborative research and writing projects. Learn more about some of the recent publications from our English faculty.
