I am a History Buff as welll. I started my BA History when I was stationed in Japan, but changed it to BS Management half way through, as it looked better from a military stand-point. I chose it because it does not matter in one way or another if I completed it. I just wanted soemthing that would be enjoyable for me, as I supported my wife during her journey.
The courses were mainly a few paragraphs per topic and then a series of documentaries to watch. I ended up doing supplemental research in areas that I found interesting. Native American History and the French Revolution as examples.
Most classes had 3-5 milestones that were 500 word essays. The finals were either 5-8 pages for Zarborney classes and PPTs for Dr. Sebold.
Feedback was decent and the instructors helpful when I emailed them.
May I ask which classes you completed at UMPI? And which classes you would recommend in the histoty major?
