The Associate of Arts in History prepares students for transfer to a university Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree in History or related field. Students wishing to transfer to four-year institutions will have the academic foundation applicable to various career fields. This emphasis area allows a flexibility of courses allowing students to tailor coursework to meet the specific requirements of the institution to which they intend to transfer.
