Introduction
History classes taught in the Department of History, Political Science and Geography encourage students to (1) have a solid understanding of and interest in U.S. and World history, and a sense of the complexities of human experience; (2) read and write well; (3) communicate publicly and participate in small teams; (4) have some knowledge of doing research in a university library; and (5) discuss history on a general political, social and moral level. In addition, History Education majors should develop a sizeable repertoire of lessons, pedagogies and approaches to history which are appropriate for teaching at the secondary level.
|
Career Opportunities
History degrees, consisting of exemplary basic liberal arts courses, have traditionally provided employment in business, government, law and other out-of-history careers. This is particularly the case in graduate programs, like law, that have no specific pre-professional curricula. There are also many para-historical fields which draw on history--archivists, librarians, curators, museum administrators, national park curators. History majors are also valued in private sector jobs which are heavily information-based like journalism. More academically oriented students who major in history often pursue graduate education in English, foreign languages and the humanities, to name a few. And then there are, of course, teaching opportunities at the secondary and higher educations levels.
