Employment prospects:
As we all know, it is still a fact that liberal arts graduates (such as arts, history and philosophy majors) have difficulty in finding jobs. Due to the limited social demand for such talents, and the lack of professional skills and great substitution of such disciplines, the employment of students majoring in this field is often restricted, and the major of educational history is one of them.
Ordinary colleges and universities are the main destination of theoretical majors such as educational history, but it is more and more difficult for master students to enter colleges and universities, and basically they all require doctoral degrees, so they must be prepared for doctoral studies if they want to go to colleges and universities.
In addition, students majoring in educational history can learn more other skills and develop into teachers, administrative assistants and secretaries.
