Educators, legislators, and other segments of the general public have been in discussions related to evaluating history as an academic subject. Various individuals and groups have taken up the task of not just trying to decipher what history majors learn, but also how they are equipped to apply what they learn outside of academia. Since the Spring 2016 semester, the University of Central Florida (UCF) History Department has attempted to evaluate history majors by offering a course, titled "History Majors in Society and Careers" (later renamed as "Professionalizing History Majors"). Designed for students pursuing a B.A. degree, the goal of this course is to enhance history majors' understanding of the opportunities they will encounter in both modern society and their post-graduation careers. Student reflections on their understandings of history and the history profession gleaned from course assessments during the first three semesters it was offered reveal that, while history majors understand much about both the discipline and its practitioners and are involved in co-curricular activities to enhance their knowledge, learning gaps remain, partially as a result of the economic realities faced by many undergraduates.
