Career opportunities:

History majors at Mississippi State University enjoy a broad range of career opportunities. Many of our majors pursue careers in teaching, public history, or historic preservation. These students go on to history or education graduate programs, or pursue degrees in library science and archival studies, anthropology, or related fields.

But these are just a fraction of the ways that our majors might choose to apply the critical thinking and writing skills they learn in history courses at Mississippi State. Our majors also attend law school, pursue careers in public policy, and work in the public health field. Other recent graduates have entered the U.S. Marshal Service, managed small businesses, entered the ministry, or attended medical school. A history major doesn’t limit the paths that you can follow after you graduate; it adds to your chosen career the wealth of human perspective, research and analytical skills, and writing craft that the study of history imparts.
