The over a dozen department members who attended emobodied a variety of  fields, interests, and career paths to help inform prospective students and their families about the opportunities in history. Besides formal historical fields--academia and public historical work being the most notable--a history degree prepares students well for a wide variety of jobs in the public sector, from intelligence analysts to law enforcement. A facilty for writtern argumentation and critical analysis prepares students well for just about any career, and is valuable in life, generally.
