Public History Concentration
Public History Concentration
This concentration will help students interested in pursuing public history careers to enter graduate school or the market with some training in the field. Public historians are in many ways a community’s connection to history. Those trained in public history become museum and historical agency/society professionals, historical interpreters, cultural resource managers, private consultants in planning, community projects and conservation, restoration experts, historical archaeologists, and archivists.
