About the History Discipline
History is a study of the past. The past not only defines our lives, society, and the world we live in today, but shapes the pathway to the future. Students of history study individuals, groups, communities, nations, people, and cultures from different times and places. Many different methods are applied to effectively learn about history. History students examine the past through different perspectives and apply various analytical techniques to raise questions and think critically about the past. In addition to learning about amazing events, history provides us with a better understanding of our present lives.
The Associate in Arts in History for Transfer degree provides students with the opportunity to complete their freshman/sophomore level classes needed for a Bachelor’s degree in History within the California State University System.
“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” —Marcus Garvey
