So, to answer the question “What can you do with a history major?” think of what you can do with highly developed writing, reading, research, and thinking skills. There are a lot of possibilities.

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.
