History

History is the study of our recorded past, and this major prepares you to collect and analyze historical evidence, interpret historical behavior and apply historical understanding. An AA-T in History prepares you for transfer into upper division work at a CSU campus in history. Because of the broad application of the skills you acquire as a history major, numerous career paths are open to you. These include careers in the fields of communication and writing (journalist, novelist), politics (diplomat/foreign service officer, policy advisor), social and public service (teacher, archivist, social worker, curator, librarian) and business (corporate historian, researcher, paralegal).
