UVM History department?

I’ve been wanting to go to UVM since i was little, and now that I’m a rising senior I’ve decided that I want to major in history. I know that UVM is really good in the sciences but does anyone know how good their history department is? I’m worried that I wont get as many opportunities here for internships and stuff as i would in a school in Boston, close to the action.
Also, I might want to look into journalism as well, but there is nothing mentioned in any packets about a journalism major or minor. Do they even offer that? Thanks!!
