Bachelor
of American History (BA)
School of Social and Human
Studies
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of American History (BA) program
objective is to provide students with a
rich and complex understanding of U.S. history,
society and cultures of the past and present;
focusing on literature, social science or
history. The degree prepares students for
opportunities in business, politics, law,
education, government, journalism and other
related careers. The Bachelor of American
History (BA) program is offered online via
distance learning. After evaluating both
academic record and life experience, AIU
staff working in conjunction with Faculty
and Academic Advisors will assist students
in setting up a custom-made program, designed
on an individual basis. This flexibility
to meet student needs is seldom found in
other distance learning programs. Our online
program does not require all students to
take the same subjects/courses, use the
same books, or learning materials. Instead,
the online Bachelor of American History
(BA) curriculum is designed individually
by the student and academic advisor. It
specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses
with respect to market opportunities in
the student’s major and intended field
of work. Understanding that industry and
geographic factors should influence the
content of the curriculum instead of a standardized
one-fits-all design is the hallmark of AIU’s
unique approach to adult education. This
philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly
changing environment of working professionals
by helping adult students in reaching their
professional and personal goals within the
scope of the degree program.
