Meet history student Lindsey Delaughter

You should major in history if:

  • You enjoy knowing how we got where we are today.
  • You like learning about other countries, societies, and cultures.
  • You want to be a well-informed participant in a democratic society.
  • You want to learn from the past to help make a better future. 
     

As a history major, you鈥檒l have the opportunity to take courses on topics as specific as the history of Louisiana or as broad as world civilizations and global problems. Focus on a specific country, region, or continent or explore topics such as Black history, gender in history, war, science and society, or the history of religion.  

A major in history prepares you for graduate research, deeper cultural understanding, as well as jobs in education, libraries, museums, business, and law.
