History graduates are critical and creative thinkers, they are skilled and astute researchers and among the best communicators. They are problem-solvers accustomed to bringing together the expressive power of the humanities and marry it to the analytical capabilities of the social sciences. The study of history offers a strong foundation for a range of careers such as teaching, law, government service, politics, journalism and creative writing, publishing, library science, business and policy research, human resources, and positions with local, state or national archives, museums and historical societies or restoration agencies.
