The study of history is more than reconstructing events of the past. It is the study of societies and their institutions, economics, cultures, and beliefs as they evolved over time. Our history major is designed to prepare students for a variety of career paths. There are courses that teach skills that our graduates will use in museums, historical societies, living history sites, and state and national parks, as well as government agencies and non-profit organizations. In addition, Chatham has agreements with law schools that enable students to complete their undergraduate education and law school a year earlier than most.
