Become a part of history - without coming to campus

Nevada State now offers an online pathway through our BA in History. This option will allow you to complete an entire degree remotely, without any required in-person courses. If you are interested in our innovative History program but prefer the accessibility of online classes, this is a terrific option for you.

This online option has the same requirements as our existing BA in History, and it is led by the same faculty who teach our in-person courses. Our commitment to you is a series of regularly scheduled online courses in the BA in History that will allow you to progress through the program.

Since the online pathway is not a separate degree, you can also take a combination of courses each semester: online, hybrid, or in-person. This flexibility allows you to complete a BA in History in a way that works for your schedule and preferred learning style.
