Track 6. Public History
Historians in cyberspace, on TV, and in the classroom.... Public
historians make films, design websites, produce radio programs,
stage plays, teach, and much more. Wherever they work - for media
outlets, museums, archives, local historical societies, consulting
firms, government and non-profit agencies, schools, or historic
sites, to name just a few - they present history to the public.
Note: Public History concentrators will take three courses from
the Public History Concentration, and three from outside the concentration,
but will also take:

History courses outside the Public History concentration may count
