"Why get a bachelor's degree in history in the 21st century? Isn't history dead?," the editors of Bachelor's Degree Hub ask rhetorically: in fact, "The best history degree programs are dynamic, technologically advanced, and much more influential than you realize." Expertise in history can have value in a wide variety of settings: "Earning a history degree also provides graduates with an opportunity to work in museums, libraries, and other educational fields outside of the realm of teaching." In addition, graduates "can use that degree to pursue a career in various industries such as architecture, design, as well as many other fields." History is also a stepping stone into law or political science. Far from a worthless degree, BDC editors explain that a bachelor's in history can be the foundation of any number of rewarding careers.

Bachelor's Degree Center editors rank both on-campus and online programs to help students of all backgrounds, with all kinds of goals. As the editors explain, "When choosing an online history degree, you need to decide on a program that fits your needs but is also flexible enough to allow you to accomplish your goals while you are attending school. By attending class online, you will be able to go to work as usual and still maintain your school schedule." On the other hand, the mentorship and networking opportunities in the best on-campus programs can be invaluable. Bachelor's Degree Center's rankings of the best history degrees are designed to point prospective students of all kinds to the program that is right for them.

Bachelor's Degree Center has been providing advice, resources, and rankings on the best traditional and online bachelor's degree programs since 2014. Completely independent and unbiased, BDC is working to be the ultimate resource for new high school graduates, working adults returning to school, and nontraditional students.
