What Can I Do With A Major In History

Because the study of history is wide-ranging, it provides excellent training for a wide variety of careers. Some history majors go on to careers directly related to history: some pursue graduate study and teaching at the college level, a good number combine a history major or minor with preparation for certification to teach at the secondary level and a few pursue museum or archival work. But most history majors and minors take their historically refined knowledge of the world and analytical and communication skills to other careers. The history faculty are continuously engaged in advising students regarding their career goals.
