"While we train our students, first and foremost, to understand and engage with the past critically, it is important to note that, along the way, they acquire valuable skills that stand them in very good stead in any variety of internships settings. Aside from being masters at synthesizing large amounts of information, history majors know how to craft and substantiate arguments, articulate their thoughts, and, most importantly, write effective prose. Furthermore, doing the kinds of historical research that we ask our students to do in our classes requires careful organization and a keen ability to seek out and locate information in diverse published and unpublished materials, in visual culture, on the internet, and in databases. Experiences such as these mean that history majors are peculiarly well-suited to many different jobs and work environments."
