B.A. (HONOURS) HISTORY
The study of History as an academic discipline is valued by those who wish to understand how
our world has come to be the way it is. History can thus help us live informed and meaningful
lives, understand the problems afflicting our world and prepare for the challenges that we face in
our times. Since it deals with all aspects of life, History is a comprehensive, multifarious and interdisciplinary subject by nature; and provides both a broad and as well as nuanced view of our
society.
Students of History not only go on to research and teach History, and
train in archival, curatorial and archaeological work, they also find
their study in History a valuable stepping stone for a wide array of
fields like the Civil Services, Politics, Law, Journalism and Media,
Business and Economy, Development Sector/Social Work, Writing
and the Arts, Tourism, etc., all which require a good understanding
of the world we live in.
The History Department at St Stephen’s College seeks to provide the
knowledge and skills required for our students to mature into historysensitive scholars and individuals who can take their place as
responsible and public-minded citizens in our society and contribute
to its well-being from whichever vocation they eventually choose to
pursue.
