The BA in History is a strong pathway of undergraduate education leading to law school. History majors have a strong record of successful admission to law school. Within the major, the Legal History concentration provides a specialized focus embedded within the major’s strengths in analysis of texts, critical thinking, factual analysis, and historical perspective. The concentration in Legal History includes the analysis of the historical context of developments in law and legal practice, analysis of the historical causes and consequences of major legal cases, and historical interpretation of the nature of the legal system in diverse society and historical moments. The concentration offers students a choice of mid-level and advanced History courses treating the political, economic, and sociocultural history of legal systems.
Many of our majors are transfer students, from other universities and community colleges. Our advisors will work with you on credit equivalencies and requirements. In the History major, 18 credit hours (6 courses) of History must be completed at NC State. At least 12 of those hours must be at the 400-level and must include one HI 491 seminar.
Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student. Fulfilling the World Language 201-level requirement prior to transfer will allow students to better balance semster courswork in this major.
