Graduate School
WLC's history program properly prepares students for success in graduate school. Several WLC history majors have pursued Master's, PhDs, and JDs at such universities as Marquette University, University of Chicago, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and The Ohio State University.
Careers
The history program at Wisconsin Lutheran College prepares strong-minded Christian leaders capable of success in nearly any career. Past graduates are now working as teachers, content writers, sheriff deputies, nurses, financial advisers, curators, park managers, and lawyers.
Data collected by the American Historical Association (AHA) indicates that, “History majors seem particularly well-prepared for, and attracted to, certain careers. Nearly one in five goes into education-just over half as primary-, middle-, and high-school teachers. Another 15 percent enter management positions in business, and 11 percent go into the legal professions (most becoming lawyers).” 1
