The study of history is a well-established and widely respected foundation for a liberal education. By studying American, European and world history, you'll gain a broad perspective on the diversity of the human experience and achieve a better understanding of your place in the world.

Many of our students pursue internships at local historical societies, museums, libraries and civic organizations. A major in history helps you develop the skills employers value most: critical thinking, independent research, written expression and an understanding of human diversity. Our graduates pursue careers in business, education, law or continue on to graduate study in a wide range of fields.
