History majors have many career opportunities. A History major serves as an excellent preparation for future studies and careers in law, theology, and teaching. It is also preparation for entry into careers in journalism, government, and politics.

Mount Marty College's History program is designed to be a double major with Teacher Education for students who wish to teach History in school. Teacher Education students are prepared to be certified to teach history or social studies. As Mount Marty History graduates, students are prepared for entry into graduate programs as well as the following careers.

History is both timeless and timely-- timeless because serious examination of the past illuminates the agelessness and universality of the human dilemma, and timely because the skills and knowledge gained through historical studies prepare us to face intelligently the challenges of the 21st century.
