“History is such a great major. I am perpetually amazed at how important history research and writings skills are for further studies, foreign policy, military and intelligence operations, and just good work habits. In my world, you live by your references, the validity of your sources, their relevance and how information matches with political, historical and geographic context. If you arrive in the business without such skills, you are less likely to succeed, and can derail policy or even get people killed. I witnessed many smart people with boundless energy who would have done much better for their country and themselves had they ever been history majors.” — Colonel Jeff Hartman, U.S. Army
"Employers want successful people. A company on Wall Street would hire a 3.6 history major over a 2.6 finance major."
— Nancy Dudak, Director of Career Services
