EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION
The Public History track prepares students to be historians who specifically
work in jobs that develop and interpret the past for public audiences. These jobs
are usually found outside of education in settings such as: historical consulting
firms, museums, historical sites, government agencies, living history projects,
theatre companies, digital media operations, film and television production
companies and local historical societies. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
estimates that employment for public historians will grow by 18% from 2010 to
2020.
