History is an evolving record of human emotion, human aspiration, human frustration, and human success. Historians deal with 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. Transfer students interested in specializing in History who wish to qualify for an Associate in Arts Degree could explore Social Science, International Studies or Liberal Studies as a possible major.
