历史

If you think history is just facts, figures and timelines, think again. Historical analysis explores motivations, morals and habits; it evaluates conflicting narratives, as well as continuity and change over time. Our insights inform today’s 业务 decisions, government policies and societal values. As a historian, you will learn to develop sophisticated answers to complex real world questions.

威尼斯游戏大厅’s 历史 program gives you the tools to explain not just what happened, 还有为什么, 如何, 谁在乎呢. Our flexible curriculum encourages interdisciplinary study, incorporates ne-on-one mentoring, and supports independent research.

关于历史专业

Study of the past prepares you for a bright future. It’s a cliché, but true: A history degree opens doors to a wide variety of professional paths. Recent graduates have gone on to pursue careers in 业务, 法律, 图书馆科学, 业务, teaching and even at the National Archives in Washington D.C. Our scaffolded courses train you to consider multiple perspectives, develop evidence-based arguments, 独立工作. Small classes challenge you to speak up, ask questions, and defend positions. And according to the AACU’s 2015 study, 91 percent of employers seek applicants who’ve mastered these skills.

教室外, you’ll find a friendly community of students and faculty that is active both on and off campus. 历史 majors support state-wide and national initiatives (National 历史 Day, 例如), 进行个人研究, 在会议上介绍工作, and network via internships and social events. The 36-credit major is explicitly designed to accommodate double majors and pre-professional students—you can even complete Physical Therapy or med school requirements as a history major! The major also complements both short-term and semester-long study abroad—an experience highly valued by more than three quarters of employers.

Become a Social Studies Teacher

Pairing the history major with Carroll’s 中等教育 major can lead to certification by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to teach social studies in high school and middle school. Your coursework will provide you with depth in your major while also preparing you to teach multiple disciplines in the social sciences.

Are you the kind of person who often asks, "Why?" Do you spend time on eBay, in antique stores or with the family photo albums? Have you wondered 如何 to stand out to future employers or graduate schools? Perhaps you just wish you could communicate more effectively. These are all great reasons to  add a 历史 minor!
