History Careers

Many former history majors have gone on to be successful lawyers, and a number of our alums are judges. In addition, dozens of majors have served as officers in the U.S. military. Even though it seems unlikely, several have combined History with Pre-Med and became physicians. Finally, many majors have also gone on in education, teaching in secondary schools and colleges, as well as serving as principals and even college presidents. Did you know five presidents of CSB and SJU have been historians?
