History (Transfer)

Learn about the past while preparing for your future by pursuing a degree in History. Explore a variety of time periods and regions, from Ancient Greece to modern Mexico, and topics such as sports, engineering and health.

Students in the History program study the growth and development of human society from political, social, economic and cultural perspectives. Students learn to craft stories from materials other people have left behind – constitutions, land deeds, diaries, and so much more. Students of history learn to use and create digital media, to perform quantitative as well as qualitative analysis, and to present their findings in compelling ways to all kinds of audiences.
