You can't really know where you're headed until you know where you've been. History majors analyze the past to gain a common memory, a core understanding of the present and a vision of the future still to come. As a History major at USM, you'll gain a rich knowledge of the past that will cultivate your ability to think broadly and individually, and will set you on the path to career success. In fact, USM's History degree creates a solid foundation for careers in law, foreign services, and state and government positions, including the Peace Corps, CIA and FBI. Based on a wide variety of course offerings, USM History majors can tailor the program to their interest: study Asian nations, ancient history, American history-it's up to you! USM students often combine History with Political Science or Global Studies to maximize career marketability.
USM's History professors promote independent thinking, pushing you to understand life from many perspectives. USM professors will also challenge you're thinking-to push you to ask meaningful questions, and to communicate solutions logically and effectively. With these skills in hand, the USM History degree is perfect for your future.
