Overview

A Truly Interdisciplinary Focus

As the Humanities - History program at the Florida Institute of Technology is interdisciplinary across the humanities, we encourage a connection between history and the sciences more broadly, encouraging students to work in fields ranging from the history of science to political science to public history, which will provide students a range of future career opportunities beyond academia.

The required history courses include the American History and the History of Science sequences. Majors will also be required to take a range of electives with both a Western and world focus.

All Humanities majors are required to complete a capstone project, a two-semester research project in the senior year. This requires the student to work independently, preparing for a written thesis and oral presentation on a substantial topic, developing the qualities of intellectual autonomy and written and verbal communication skills that are indispensable in a wide range of workplaces.

A degree in Humanities–History is a superb foundation for graduate programs in multiple disciplines, both within the humanities and beyond.

Career Options

The study of history encourages students to develop critical analysis skills crucial to analytical tasks in any career. The majority of History majors go on to have careers in education, training, libraries, business management, legal occupations, sales, and office/administrative support.

Former History majors include former US presidents, prime ministers, supreme court justices, authors, musicians, and actors.

As historian Peter Stearns put it, "Why study history? The answer is because we virtually must, to gain access to the laboratory of human experience.”

Other Potential Employers

Many universities have found that their history graduates go on to become lawyers. History students often develop skills that are highly valuable in the legal world: lawyers need to devise arguments based on historical data, and must be able to analyze large amounts of information and find the flaws and patterns in it—exactly what history students do.
