History Department
The associate degree curriculum in history provides a basic program to aid students in thinking critically about one's self, one's cultural heritage, social and economic processes, and national and international affairs. Completion of the degree prepares students to move into a curriculum at a four-year institution leading to a baccalaureate degree and eventually into careers with government agencies, libraries or museums, research programs in business, journalism, international organizations, archival work, and work in law, international relations, and business.
