Associate in Arts Degree
The history major fosters an understanding of ourselves
and our world through the study of the past - both
remote and recent. The
program develops critical thinking and a broad
background in issues and ideas from our past. The major
thus prepares students for transfer to B.A. programs in
history. It also offers all students fundamental
preparation for careers in business, government,
teaching, and a number of professional fields (for
example, paralegal or law careers).
