CMU’s History BA merges archival rigor with digital-humanities flair. Students mine steel-mill payroll ledgers with OCR scripts, build GIS maps of medieval trade, and curate museum pop-ups that juxtapose robotics and labor history. A required capstone partners you with nonprofits or think tanks—recent grads produced policy briefs on pandemic memory sites and VR tours of civil-rights landmarks.
