History Programs in Texas
History studies the past through primary sources and long-form writing. Graduates head into education, law, public history, and business roles that value research and writing; the one-year median reflects that wide scatter.
Programs below are ranked only when a college figure rests on at least 100 graduates. Programs on 30 to 99 graduates carry a small-program flag and are listed, not ranked. Anything smaller shows the national median for the major, badged as such.
