History
Associate in Arts for Transfer
Program Details
Historians study the goals, fears, interests, opinions, and prejudices of people in the past. What made people the way they were? What is the impact of their thought and action on people today and what is their impact on people tomorrow? As a study of people, history offers both a necessary understanding of one’s place in the human experience and the conceptual framework for a lifelong avocation.The Associate in Arts in History for Transfer degree (AA-T in History) is intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor’s degree in History, or a similar major at a CSU campus. Each CSU campus determines which of the degrees it offers are “similar” and can be completed with the preparation included in the AA-T in History within 60 units once a student transfers, so which majors are “similar” varies from CSU to CSU
