Program Description:
Some Possible Careers:
Program Description: The History Program is part of the Social Sciences
Department and is committed to the highest possible standards in teaching
and facilitating learning in a student-centered environment. History is the
systematic study and interpretation of the past. Historians research,
analyze, and interpret the past. They use many primary sources of
information in their research, including government and institutional
records, newspapers and other periodicals, photographs, interviews, films,
and unpublished materials such as manuscripts, personal diaries, and
letters. Historians usually specialize in a country or region, a particular
time period, or a particular field, such as social, intellectual, cultural,
political, military, or diplomatic history. They communicate their research
and findings through books, articles, essays, lectures, and seminars.
Some possible careers: Many historians conduct some form of research and
analysis for historical societies, and state and local governments. Others
help study and preserve archival materials and artifacts in museums, visitor
centers, and historic buildings and sites. Those with a bachelor’s degree in
history may work as high school teachers, and graduate degrees provide
opportunities to work as a college professor.
