Students with a history major are well prepared for advanced studies in history, law or political science.
In consultation with the history professors, students may also choose an area of emphasis that can include a history degree in preparation for graduate school, teaching certification in social studies, or historic automotive restoration. |
Students also benefit from internship opportunities, which introduce them to real-life experiences and situations that supplement and complement classroom learning.
