Overview

The History and Government BSc program offered at Emporia State University prepares you for careers for which a broad liberal arts background is essential. These possible career opportunities include numerous areas of private business and government service.

For example, a history major who understands the history and culture of foreign countries could find employment with the government as a foreign-service agent, or with a multinational corporation in a variety of roles. Many students who pursue this major also go on and take additional professional training in such areas as law, religion, library science, and journalism.

What can you do with this degree?

History begins with curiosity about the past, and there are many ways to turn that curiosity into a successful career. The major emphasizes critical thinking, research, writing skills, and working with primary and secondary sources. A wide range of employers highly value these analytical skills. We also have an M.A. degree, along with certificate programs for licensed teachers and for students wishing to study Public History. In addition, we have two joint degree programs with the School of Library and Information Management. ESU History alumni are currently working in museums, archives, interpretive centers, education, university and public administration, and libraries.
