History majors
It is important to understand that employers hire people, not diplomas or degrees. As a student or graduate, the skills and knowledge you develop as a result of your education, work experiences, community activities, and/or co-op experiences, have the greatest impact on hiring decisions.
*Some positions may require further education as entrance requirements. For more information or to discuss, please see a Career Consultant.
