Overview

Historians study various aspects of humanity’s recorded past. Some explore the rise and fall of empires, while others describe the everyday lives of men and women. They are interested in every period of the past and all parts of the world.

Historians seek to understand the forces that have structured human life and the ideas that have shaped the way people perceive and experience their worlds. History can teach us many lessons, not simply about our past but also about the paradoxes and potentials of our present.

Careers

The History Department at Georgia State University is at the forefront of the movement for career diversity, winning multiple grants to develop new curricula and professional development opportunities that show how historians contribute to a wide range of fields, from nonprofits and government to the private sector.

Our M.A. graduates go on to win admission and funding at a variety of distinguished programs, while others go directly into careers in fields such as education, museums, tech and historic preservation.
