What could YOU

do with a

 History Degree?

      The study of history is much more than simply memorizing dates.  Historical research is like detective work: you search for potential sources of information, consider the motivations that drove each writer, and construct your re-telling of the events.  The analytical skills you develop in the process will be beneficial to you in many careers.
