You will be prepared for a career in any number of fields that require you to read critically, analyze evidence and draw conclusions, view events with historical or international perspective, and write with clarity. With a history education major, you will be qualified to teach.
History is more interdisciplinary than many academic areas, so it is a springboard into many fields.
You may pursue a public history position in a museum curatorship or with a historical society. You may wish to continue your education in such graduate school programs as public administration, journalism, library science, or college teaching. History graduates also enter professional programs such as law school or seminary. The international relations major will prepare you for entry into government service, intergovernmental service, non-governmental service, international business, or graduate school. Some students study history or international relations because it is a subject that interests them and will give them the broad educational background to adapt to many different opportunities.
