History is the study of the record of past human experience.  Working with written, oral, visual, and artifacts, history majors examine the causes, contexts, and chronologies of historical events to understand how human experiences have both remained the same and changed over time.  History studies past civilizations in order to understand the present, preserve our heritage, and appreciate the richness of human accomplishment.  Almost every field—whether it be in the field of arts, science, or health—includes some study of its past.  Therefore, many job opportunities in this field are in teaching.  Other historians may work as archivists, genealogists, or curators.  Some graduates use the critical-thinking skills they develop from history to go into administration or law.
