Overview

The History programme at Hood College prepares students for life and work by training them in critical thinking, research, information literacy, writing, argumentation and presentation skills. While many history students go on to work in education, museums or various historical fields, many others find their careers in law, government, business, the media and the nonprofit sector.

Historical study is a broad, flexible training that fits a person for all sorts of roles in a rapidly changing world and workplace.
