Bachelor of Arts in History

West Virginia University

History helps us discover new meaning in the past, present and future. Our students learn the best practices of historical research while developing the skills for a successful career: thinking critically, communicating effectively and tackling complex problems. Graduates excel in careers in politics, the legal profession, business and marketing, human resources, information and library sciences, law enforcement, journalism, public relations, intelligence or security analysis, sales and recruitment, education and more. History majors in our department have worked at National Park Service sites and the National Main Street Project in Charleston, W.Va. Graduates have gone on to work as curators or in the fields of education, government, human resources, intelligence, international affairs, law, media, nonprofit organizations and public policy.
