O que eu aprenderei?

The study of history combines well with courses in economics, anthropology, sociology, political science, literature and other disciplines, and interested students will receive help in combining their major with one of the many certificate programs offered in the University, such as the Area Studies certificates (West European, Asian, Russian and East European, and Latin American), or the Certificate in Historic Preservation.

The department encourages students to participate in activities that will take them outside the University, such as a semester of study abroad or an internship done either as part of the major or for general University credit. Many history majors have become lawyers, journalists, civil servants, business executives, and teachers. In short, the history major offers an exciting intellectual challenge in itself, and an excellent all-around preparation for a wide range of professional careers after graduation.

What do I do with a history major?

While many students major in history or simply express a deep interest in the field, they are unable to see the enormous range of career possibilities in history. That range increases even further if you have enhanced your degree with language skills, internships, certificate programs, and multiple majors and minors. You are only limited by your imagination!

History majors can consider graduate history programs with different specializations, offering degrees in areas such as archives, historic preservation, media, public policy, and museum studies. A major in history provides an excellent foundation for students planning to do advanced work in other fields too, such as anthropology, business, communications, economics, education, information and library sciences, law, medical sciences, museum studies, and political science-to name just a few.

And for those students who do not wish to pursue an advanced degree, the knowledge, writing skills, and analytical skills developed as a history major prepare students to work in a variety of fields, including information technology, advertising, insurance, media, museums, research institutions, travel, and public relations, among others. Or, put another way, graduates of history can transfer their skills and interests into non-profit, public, government, and private sector careers.
