History & Politics

Career Opportunities
This flexible program allows students to shape a curriculum that meets their needs, whether they are preparing for the business world, graduate school in history or political science, an MBA or other business program, or law school.


Co-op Experiences
History & Politics majors have a wide variety of co-op experiences from which to choose. Business and public utilities offer many lucrative possibilities, and local, state, and federal governments; museums and archives; and law firms present many additional interesting co-op placements. Pre-law students, for example, are especially eager to see the inside of a law office, whether the co-op job they receive is clerical or a more challenging paralegal assignment. These practical experiences in the “real” world can reinforce the lessons of the classroom,
sharpen skills, and establish important contacts. Sample co-op positions
include:

• Law clerk/paralegal, Joe Davidson, Attorney-at-Law, Philadelphia
• Research analyst, Legislative Office for Research Liaison, Harrisburg, PA
• Legislative intern, Corporate Public Affairs Division, Philadelphia Electric Company
• Assistant lobbyist, Government Relations Office, Drexel University
• Education intern, Philadelphia Museum of Art
• Researcher, Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce
• Assistant, Office of the Governor, Harrisburg, PA
