Career Resources
Become a History major and find your future by studying the past.
Meredith Black, Class of '23
"My History degree provided me with an excellent foundation for my professional goals. Through research and writing, I learned to interpret data to form well-founded conclusions and to present my ideas with clarity and confidence. This experience has prepared me to represent myself well in a professional environment, whether through public speaking, written correspondence, or thoughtful data and information handling."
