Program Overview

The Associate in Arts in History for Transfer degree prepares students for transfer into bachelor's degree programs in History and similar programs at a CSU campus and guarantees admission to the CSU system. History course work in general is helpful to the student who intends to eventually pursue graduate studies in such diverse fields as history, law, and education. Most career opportunities associated with this discipline require the minimum of a B.A. degree. Some business firms and government agencies seek persons with a broad overview and perspective of historical phases and processes of change. Reserach and ciritical thinking skills relevant to the major are applicable to a wide range of professions.
