Being able to pay for attending college is no easy task. Located in the Seay Building, the Office of Financial Aid offers assistance to you and your parents to ensure that you have the financial resources to focus on your education.
If you are curious about the way the world works, you can usually find the answers when studying history.
Centenary University’s Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in History program focuses on how the human experience has changed over time. By exploring the past — not memorizing names and dates — you will learn how social and cultural developments, as well as political events, have shaped our world.
Our History majors receive a solid foundation in World History and American History, with the opportunity to dig deeper into subjects including:
- The African American Experience
- The History of New Jersey
- Tudor and Stuart England
- The Social History of Modern Europe and Modern Ireland
- Middle Eastern History
History Minor
Students interested in completing a minor in History must complete a minimum of 16 credits in History above and beyond the classes in their areas which may be used to fulfill the College core requirements or other program requirements.

An Award-Winning Faculty
Centenary’s History faculty has received numerous awards in recent years, including the John F. Kennedy scholarships and the New Jersey Governor’s Award for Achievement in History. Our professors are, first and foremost, teachers. They are known throughout campus for thought-provoking classes for both history and non-history majors on topics ranging from the “American Civil War” to the “History of Ideas” and “Issues in Environment History.” A minor in History is also available for students who earn 16 credits aside from the classes used to complete Centenary’s core educational requirements.
