Careers

Historical and sociological methods, skills, and data are used in virtually every profession. Managers and owners of businesses, for example, analyze and report on economic, social, political, and technical change in much the same way History, Technology, and Society (HTS) students do. HTS majors are trained to be good researchers, writers, and speakers. It is no surprise, therefore, that HTS students have gone on to careers in a wide variety of fields, including:

Administration
Advertising
Archives Management
Business
Criminal Justice
Health Professions
Historic Preservation
Human Resources
Intelligence Services
Journalism
Law
Library Science
Marketing
Museums (Public)
Public Relations
Publishing
Social Services
Teaching
