History is the study of the human past.
As a discipline, history remains a chief foundation within the humanities and social
sciences. Its broad and interdisciplinary approach offers many theoretical and practical
applications for interpreting and understanding human society. The study of history
emphasizes reading, writing, critical thinking, research, thesis formulation, and
debate.
The history major prepares students to transfer to a four-year institution for continued
and advanced study in the field of history or its related disciplines. In turn, a
major in history provides knowledge and training for planning careers in history,
education, law, archival work, historic sites and museums, library studies, journalism,
research, documentary filmmaking, government, non-profit organizations, record, and
information management.
Duration
The History department offers an Associate Degree in Arts for Transfer (ADT), and
it is designed to be completed in 4 semesters as a full-time student.
