Students have also interned at the Delaware State Archives. While most of the internships are completed during the college year, students may elect to complete their internships during the summer at museums, historical agencies, or archaeological sites near their homes. The De La Warr History Society is the student organization led by History majors. This group organizes field trips, lectures, parties, and other social and academic activities for students interested in History. Trips to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Monticello near Charlottesville, Virginia, Annapolis, Ellis Island, Philadelphia, Gettysburg, and Williamsburg have provided exciting means to learn about United States History.
Students also visit museums and historic sites in Delaware.
Wesley College History graduates are pursuing a variety of careers. Some are working in traditional History fields, such as Museums. Others are pursuing graduate degrees. Still others are employed by investment companies and banks doing research. Teaching is also a popular career path for our graduates, but there are others who are college admissions counselors or are working for large companies and corporations.
