Students completing an Associate in Arts for Transfer in History will be prepared to transfer into the CSU system to continue toward a BA in History or a combined Social Sciences Degree, as well as a general Liberal Arts Degree. The degree is for students who seek to understand the past and strive to develop a historical sense. With course offerings covering much of the past from all parts of the globe, from the ancient world to the present, the program offers the foundation for a broad education. Such a foundation has been preparing students since the founding of the school in 1961 for careers in education, politics, the law, public administration, librarianship, and many other disciplines. This program offers students an in-depth and diverse framework of traditional humanistic skills, the chief being critical reading, good writing, and the analyses of historical texts.
