Public or applied history refers to careers in history-related fields other than teaching, including museum management, archival management, and historic preservation, as well as the production of historical media programs. In most cases, a master’s degree in a public or applied history program or certification upon completion of certain graduate courses are needed prior to employment. The Department of History & Political Science recommends as curricula a major in history with a second major or minor and electives as the most advantageous undergraduate basis for a public-history career. Curriculum recommendations are available from the department chair.
