The B.A. in history and culture at Arizona State University encourages students to develop their historical awareness, and their ability to use historical knowledge to make informed decisions. The program stresses cultural and information literacy. It encourages the study of historical events in their cultural context, and stresses the role of media and technology in historical study.
