Public history is the presentation of history and culture outside of the traditional classroom setting. These pursuits include, but are by no means limited to, museums, historic preservation, historic site management, archival management, cultural resource management, documentary film making, digital history projects, and policy applications.
The WMU public history program, like the NCPH, stresses an interdisciplinary approach to the field. It prepares professionals to engage the widest public audience in the continually emerging questions of history and culture.
The WMU public history graduate program trains socially responsible professionals to serve in diverse venues at the local, regional, national, and international levels. Our graduates work for the government, in private foundations, at museums, archives, historic homes, and in a multitude of other settings. Public history enriches communities, offering educational opportunities and planning information that may structure essential choices about our natural and built environments. WMU's public history program relies on a rich blend of resources and methodologies, emphasizing the examination of regional environments, places, and economic systems.
