Public History Program
History majors often wonder what they can do with their degree other than teach in a traditional classroom. Public history courses offered at Northern Kentucky University give those students a new direction to take with their careers.
Public historians are trained to explain past human behavior in a variety of different contexts. It is history that is seen through:
-
Museum exhibits
-
Internet websites
-
Books and articles
-
Documentaries
-
Audio-visual presentations
This website has detailed information about our Master's Program in Public History. We also prepared an online brochure and the video below for interested students.
