What will I learn?

As a history major, you will gain a broad introduction to civilizations of the past and present, preparing you for diverse careers or graduate study. At UMass Lowell, you’ll study civilizations of the past and present - including those of antiquity, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas - while developing powerful research and writing skills. Small class sizes mean you’ll connect closely with professors and classmates. You’ll have access to internships at places like the National Park Service and Massachusetts Historical Society, plus research opportunities through the Honors College and Emerging Scholars. Whether you're preparing for graduate school, teaching, law, public policy or a career in museums or government, a history degree gives you a strong understanding of world affairs.
