WASHINGTON AND LEE
UNIVERSITY
Careers
More and more, companies are looking
for intelligent graduates who can think and write well. A job often begins
with a training program in which they learn the specific skills needed
in that field. The analytical and writing skills our history graduates
develop in their history major stand them in very good stead.
Washington and Lee History graduates
have a very high rate of placement in promising positions in business and
finance. Some teach history in fine secondary schools. Others go on to
graduate programs in, for example, history, information management, medicine,
and law. Others still go on to careers in government and diplomacy.
Our Career Services office at
W&L has extensive resources to assist students with career choice,
internships, networking with alumni, job placement and graduate school.
Their office on the ground floor of Mattingly Hall is lively and very helpful.
The Career Services web
site is well worth exploring.
