History is the study of everything. No matter what your major or interest, history encompasses it - politics, economics, religion, science, art, mathematics, engineering, music, dance, fashion, food, literature, law, sports, war, medicine - each one has a history. In other words, the history major explores every aspect of the human experience.
Studying the past gives you skills like writing, research, and critical thinking to navigate life after college. Furthermore, students of history accumulate knowledge about societies and appreciate traditions from around the world. This cultured sensibility will help you build personal and professional relationships with people from all walks of life.
