In addition to a rich appreciation for the events and forces that have shaped our world, history teaches the skills of critical thinking, asking good questions, research, writing, and creativity. History is therefore an excellent preparation for a wide variety of careers, including business, law, military, public safety, and teaching. (We also think that History is a lot of fun!) Whether you are a history major, minor, master's student, or just plan to take a few courses, we welcome all with curiousity and interest in the past.
