Social & Behavioral Sciences: Associate in Arts in History for Transfer
The Associate in Art in History for Transfer (AA-T in History) degree is a comprehensive introductory history program that includes the study of world and Western Civilization as well as American History. The AA-T in History degree is supplemented by substantive courses such as Contemporary United States History: Vietnam; African American History; Women in American History; Cultural History of Mexico; History of California; and the History of Latin America and the Caribbean. These courses cover a wide range of subjects; clearly there is something to satisfy everyone’s interest. Students are encouraged to go beyond simple memorization of names and dates and to actually get involved with the past. Assignments emphasize research skills, speculative analysis, and original thinking and the ability to compare and contrast the past with current events. Students emerge from these classes with the sense that the study and evaluation of the past need not be stagnant; rather it is an ever evolving process.
