In survey after survey, employers stress the need for people who think critically and write well.

History graduates work as analysts in business in government, as researchers, public relations officers, editors, teachers, sales executives, and managers. History is a preferred pre-law major, and two Georgia Southern history professors are also attorneys who give students expert advice on choosing classes and getting into law school. History majors also go to graduate schools in business, public administration, information science, education, and journalism, in addition to history.

History prepares students for careers in public history, including archival management, museum curatorship, and historic preservation.
