Your future in history
If you love learning how countries and societies came to be, history may be a great field for you to study. With a wide variety of different eras, countries and customs to study, you can find something that truly piques your interest.
Spanish American philosopher George Santayana famously said, “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." Recording and explaining the past helps us understand our future – and it also helps you learn how to learn. You’ll explore multiple sources to see an event from different angles, learning both what happened then and how it impacts our lives now. Additionally, a degree in History is an excellent foundation for careers in teaching, government, law and more.
