Majoring in history is excellent preparation
for students interested in a teaching career, the legal profession,
or advanced work in the discipline. Students wishing to become
business executives, administrators, and public servants
profit immensely by gaining the methodological skills of
the historian. Historians learn to gather, synthesize, analyze,
and interpret evidence; they become skilled in presenting
their conclusions to a general audience in a lucid and logical
manner.
The study of history and its method prepares students for a
wide range of careers while also sensitizing them to the complexity
and diversity of the past and the present. History is an excellent
foundation for a broadly based education in the liberal arts.
