History is a remarkably flexible major and it helps prepare students for a variety of careers. Our majors become teachers and lawyers, but alumni enter a wide variety of careers, from business to urban planning, from museum work to psychology, and even underwater archaeology!
Students are able to succeed in myriad careers precisely because the major develops valuable skill—such as clear communication, persuasive argumentation and gathering and using data appropriately—while honing their global awareness, both current and historical.
