This pathway is designed to meet Associate in Arts degree requirements with a concentration in History. Completion of this degree opens doors to a variety of careers in sectors such as commerce, government, media, and nonprofit work. It also allows you to transfer into most bachelor's degree programs in history with your first two-years of schooling completed. History is about change and continuity over time and space. Historians gain an understanding of complex cause-and-effect relationships by gathering, organizing and evaluating historical sources from a variety of academic perspectives. During the course of your studies, you'll gain research capabilities, writing skills, logical and abstract reasoning skills, and the capacity to think in historical terms. Studying history will enrich your understanding of the world by deepening your knowledge of the past and by pushing you to ask new questions that provide insight into our own time. If you enjoy thinking historically, which entails asking not just what happened, but why it happened the way it did, then pursuing a history degree may be right for you.
