History involves studying the past in a scholarly manner as a means of understanding the present in a more complete way. Those who study history develop valuable skills in research, analysis, and communication that prepare them for a wide variety of careers. History graduates often find careers in education, business, law, government service, journalism, social services, public history, the church, and library and archival science.
