We teach skills that employers and graduate programs want.
Whether you are interested in law or medicine, business or public service, or any field in between, history teaches you skills that maximize your chance to succeed after graduation. Communication is one of the most in-demand skills across all professions, and by majoring or minoring in history, you hone your ability to write and speak effectively and to think critically. But don’t just take our word for it. See how our alumni are flourishing.
This is not your high school history.
Our top-notch faculty offer a wide range of courses, at all levels, that explore places across the globe and moments across time. You have the freedom to study which areas and issues speak most to you, and you have opportunities to conduct your own research and to intern with institutions that suit your interests.
