What Can I Do with a History Degree?

 

The mission of the WIU Department of History is to help students become informed citizens, capable of thinking intelligently about the past and its relevance to the present while assisting them to develop the analytical, perceptual, and communicative skills that will enable them to excel in their chosen vocations. In support of this mission, the Department offers degrees at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels. These prepare graduates for success in teaching as well as in a wide array of other careers and professions, including law, business, management, non-profit and public service.
