History
Historians study the peoples, events, ideas, and cultures of the past in order to understand change over time. Doing history is all about delving into primary sources, dropping modern assumptions, and trying to truly understand foreign societies and ideas. It is about finding nuance and understanding, while also being critical and learning from the past.
Type of Degree:

With Humanities as your area of study and History as your emphasis, you can expand your understanding of human development and be prepared for additional study at a four-year institution. In addition to taking fascinating, in-depth courses, you will gain practical skills, such as critical thinking, objectivity, argumentation, research, and the ability to work with and analyze historical documents. The skills and knowledge you gain will make you a well-rounded graduate ready for transfer.
