Overview

As broad as human experience, it provides a context for the understanding of literature, art, philosophy, and the sciences. Akin to both the Humanities and the Social Sciences, history gives attention to the individual and to society as a whole, revealing the vast range of human experiences, the extraordinary variety of human institutions, and the inevitability of change.

The faculty of the History program of Eckerd College encourages students to pursue areas of interdisciplinary concentration. Our faculty members have formal ties to related fields such as East Asian Studies, American Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, Ancient Studies, Classics, and Environmental Studies. In addition, students are welcome to design concentrations or double majors with other fields in the humanities or social sciences, including political science, international business, philosophy, religion, literature, and particular language fields.

Careers in History

History is a flexible and far-ranging Humanities discipline. It is excellent preparation for a variety of fields – law, teaching, business, public service, journalism, and even medicine. Increasingly, both the private sector and graduate schools are looking for applicants who have broad interests and backgrounds.

The study of history builds skills and knowledge that are indispensable for any career: clarity in writing and speaking; effective use of evidence and argument; the ability to perform independent research; and an awareness of cultural differences and commonalities.

Opportunities

Careers that are most frequently chosen by Eckerd history graduates are:

Teaching: Careers in teaching history range from the elementary school to the college and university level. Eckerd offers excellent preparation for graduate study in history.
