Overview
We also encourage all undergraduates to incorporate the discipline of historical thinking into their liberal arts education. In all courses, students are taught the kinds of skills that will help them succeed both in classes at WashU and in their post-graduate careers. History students learn to read carefully, think critically, research honestly, and present information and ideas clearly and concisely, both verbally and in writing.
The History major is structured to be flexible, and encourages students both to pursue established interests and to explore topics, time periods, and locales that may be less familiar.
Careers
A major in History can be a preparation for a variety of careers. While some students choose to major in history to help them prepare for teaching middle or high school, history or social sciences or to participate in Teach for America, a history major isn't just for teachers. And although a few history majors intend to pursue a Master's or PhD in order to seek employment in colleges and universities, keep in mind that there are many different paths you can take with your history degree.
