Classes

Career Services offers a one-credit class in skills for getting a job called “Professional Career Skills in Social Science” (IDS 209) and one called “Professional Career Skills” (Prof. Counseling 202) in which history majors can hone skills that help them to find jobs. These are offered every semester.
