Welcome to the NKU Public History page!

 Majoring in History or thinking about it and wondering what you can do with your degree? Ever wondered what it would be like to work in a museum or archive?

Have you toured an historic site and wondered “what would it take to work here”?

Have you read a brochure or a book on local history or watched a documentary and wondered, “how could I do that”? Do you want to work as an historian, but not to “teach” in a traditional classroom? The answers to these questions and others can be found in the new courses we are now offering here at NKU—
