Researching the past empowers us to navigate complex questions and consider and imagine a better future. 

The History Program at Muhlenberg will equip you to think like a global citizen, explore the human condition, and strengthen your capacities for critical thinking, effective communication, problem solving and independent research.

These skills lay the groundwork for a broad range of careers in law, government, public health, medicine, nonprofits, library sciences, education, business and other professions that emphasize research, writing, and impactful community engagement.
