The
study of history has long been
recognized as central to a
liberal arts education and
has served as a foundation
for successful careers in many
fields. Although the study
of history is most often associated
with careers in law, public
service, teaching and the academic
world, the skills learned through
historical study have proven
useful in a great variety of
callings, ranging from city
administrator to foreign service
representative or museum curator.
Many history majors proceed
directly to law school or a
graduate program.
