Department of History

at Sacramento City College

History is a record of the political, social, economic, cultural events and achievements of mankind. Historians analyze and evaluate this record in an attempt to understand the past and interpret the present. Our department offers comprehensiveness and breadth in the undergraduate program.

Careers with museums, historical societies, special libraries, archives, government agencies, business and television (consulting and research) could be explored. A major in history, because of its breadth as part of the liberal arts curriculum, provides excellent preparation for any occupation emphasizing communication skills and cultural/historical awareness. Career opportunities with a History major include Journalism, Government Service, Law, Foreign Service, Publishing, Public Relations and teaching.
