As a department that sends students into a wide variety of professional fields, we collaborate closely with the Office of Career Planning to engage students in mock interviews, networking events, career panels, and resume workshops.

Combining a robust liberal arts education with specific technical training provides students excellent preparation in what the National Association of Colleges and Employers identifies as Career Ready Competencies. In short, if you want to MAKE HISTORY, STUDY IT!
