Hands-on/Experiential learning
At Ramapo College, you won’t just learn about history—you’ll be part of it. From day one, you’ll be involved in hands-on projects that sharpen your research, analytical and problem-solving skills—qualities that set you apart in careers for history majors.
You’ll dive into archival research, curate museum exhibits and bring history to life through digital storytelling. Internships with organizations like Goldman Sachs, New York Transit Museum and The Library of Congress give you real-world experience, whether you’re interested in law, finance, media or policy-making.
Your education also extends beyond campus. Field studies and digital history projects give you even more opportunities to explore the past in meaningful ways. You might contribute to a documentary, create an interactive history exhibit or develop digital archives that bring historical research to a wider audience.
By the time you graduate, you’ll have a portfolio of work demonstrating your ability to think critically, communicate effectively and apply historical knowledge. Whether you’re interested in education, business, law, or journalism, your experiences at Ramapo College will prepare you for success.
