 PREFACE

History is the study of the human past for a better understanding of the present and a guide
to the future. History is the narration and interpretation of the Past. Historical knowledge
enables us to think critically about major issues. It deals with the evolution of human
civilization, the socio-cultural and political structures. Presently, the study of history is
more scientific in approach, involving technology driven sources collection and application
of scientific and analytical approach in explanation.

The undergraduate History programme at Loyola empowers the students to combine

analytical rigor with curiosity, and develop an appetite for solving complex problems in
service of the society. The learning outcome-based curriculum framework for a B.A.
degree in History is designed to enable students to be better equipped in the art of
understanding and interpreting history. It is expected that this framework would assist in
maintaining the standard of the History programme by reviewing and revising a broad
framework of agreed expected graduate attributes, qualification descriptors, Programme
learning outcomes (POs) and Course learning outcomes (COs).

The course covers the study of human civilization down the ages encompassing major
aspects of National and global history. It also offers an insight into regional history, local
history, emergence of political thoughts and understanding the subaltern approach to
history. The Learning Outcomes based approach to Curriculum Planning will facilitate the
terms of understanding the concepts, evolution of ideologies and applying the knowledge
gained to analyze the present situation so as to find practical solutions for a better
tomorrow.

The course is designed to engage the mind and imagination of the students, by introducing
them to various cultures, to help them acquire historical knowledge and critical thinking,
reading, writing and research skills. These in turn would enable them to understand the
factors that affect the development of a civilization as well as appreciate diversity and
pluralism.

These courses will provide a good platform for students to venture into multifarious careers
such as historians, archaeologists, curators, archivists, civil servants, public leaders, social
workers, entrepreneurs, teachers and researchers. The course lays emphasis on an
interdisciplinary approach to the study of history and the same is brought to students in the
form of ancillary papers.
In addition, the course also provides skill-based papers which are coupled with internship
programmes. The department ensures a strong institution-industry connect which
facilitates the students to gain good exposure and acquire entrepreneurial and
employability skills.

The curriculum, teaching pedagogy and assessment methods are assigned with appropriate
cognitive levels as per BLOOM’s Taxonomy. The OBE based evaluation methods will
pave way for the assessment of cognitive levels of the students and evaluate the expected
course outcome attainment.
