Make sense of the present by studying the past. As a history major, you examine the rich variety of human experience across time and place, challenging yourself to consider multiple perspectives and navigate diverse cultures and ideas. Historical knowledge and skills are in high demand in our dynamic global community-and they are the foundation of engaged democratic citizenship. When you pursue a history major, you become a critical and independent thinker who can analyze complex issues and communicate your findings clearly and persuasively.

Learn to organize information, assess empirical evidence, apply concepts and analyze change and causation. Then, use these valuable skills to launch careers in business, public service, teaching and administration. The history major is also a preferred route to professional degrees in law, education, museum and library studies and public policy.
