After Graduation
The study of history provides an excellent foundation for careers in areas such as business, law, politics and international development, public administration, teaching, journalism, communications, archaeology, public history and museum work, foreign service and the military.
History alumni have also been accepted into top graduate programs in a variety of fields at the University of Michigan, Yale, University of Chicago, Johns Hopkins and many others, both here and abroad.
The history professors provided me with a strong academic foundation and the skills and confidence to know that I will be successful in graduate school and in my career thereafter.”
