Overview

History graduates are critical and creative thinkers; they are skilled and astute researchers and among the best communicators. They are problem-solvers accustomed to bringing together the expressive power of the humanities and marry it to the analytical capabilities of the social sciences. The study of history offers a strong foundation for a range of careers such as teaching; law; government service; politics; journalism and creative writing; publishing; library science; business and policy research; human resources; and positions with local, state or national archives, museums and historical societies or restoration agencies.

To meet the approved History Major with Teacher Certification in Social Studies (Preschool-Grade 12) program at the Montclair State University for certification in social studies, course work is required in each of the following: anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science and sociology.
