Real-World Experience

The Department of History offers undergraduate students a wide variety of opportunities to work with professors outside the classroom, obtain real world experience, and become more engaged, well-rounded members of the community. Below are just a few of the ways that students can become involved with work outside of their studies at the University:

Internships

There are multiple internship opportunities made available to students. Internships provide students with work or academic experience that will serve them well in the future.

National History Day

Every year, National History Day in Minnesota is co-sponsored by the University and the Department of History. National History Day provides undergraduates a chance to interact with the local community and help younger students discover a love of history.

Undergraduate Research

Students can gain valuable research experience as undergraduates by participating in hands-on historical research for themselves. University-wide and department-specific opportunities exist for undergraduates to work closely with faculty members on an independent study project or to fill a class slot by pursuing a topic of close interest to them.
