Historians analyze the economic, political, social and cultural characteristics of past societies and why these characteristics change over time. Students studying in this discipline will gain a greater understanding of the roots of the modern world and an appreciation for the cultural and global diversity of the human experience. History majors learn how to critically evaluate primary and secondary source materials and how to construct logical written or oral arguments clearly supported with evidence. These skills in critical thinking and communication are broadly applicable and highly sought after by employers, making history an excellent course of study for students seeking a general liberal arts education. History is particularly useful for students considering careers in teaching, law, communications, journalism, librarianship, archival and research work, public administration, and a wide variety of public service and government careers.
