2205.00Knowledge of the past is a prerequisite for understanding the present and preparing for the future. The Associate in Arts in History for Transfer Degree offers an array of courses designed to enable students to comprehend how they, their nation, and the contemporary world have been shaped by historical events and forces. It is only by studying the history of other civilizations and cultures that we hope to gain perspective on our own.
The AA-T in History - and the history mindset of critical analysis - prepares for all career paths. Majoring in history is an excellent foundation for students interested in education, the legal professions, community activism, library and archival studies, international relations, journalism, public relations, and political service. Students wishing to become business executives, administrators, and public servants gain immensely from the methodological skills of the historian. Historians gather, synthesize, analyze, and interpret evidence; they present their conclusions to a general audience in a lucid and logical manner.
