Overview

It informs us about the prevalence of unintended consequences. History creates connections between nations, cultures, and economic realities and encourages one to examine events and change using careful analysis.

The Bachelor of Science in History at North Carolina State University provides our students with strong critical skills which are valuable to informed citizenship and for a variety of careers.

A history major has traditionally served as a foundation for careers in such professions as:

banking and business administration
law
government service
social work
teaching.

In recent years, many of our undergraduates have added a minor in fields such as communication, computer science, foreign language, social science, or business administration. These combinations have proven attractive in business and government service careers. Our graduates are lawyers, business-owners, museum directors, doctors, archivists, politicians, political consultants, judges, farmers, chefs, military officers, and of course teachers and professors of history. Whether or not they became historians, they use their training in historical thinking as they ask: why a relationship worked, a merger failed, a disease spread, an idea or faith took hold, or two communities or peoples could not co-exist.
