History
Associate in Arts
Purpose
The History program is designed to provide a systematic examination of the past. History provides us with an opportunity to explain human nature and contemporary concerns. Historians work from the written records (cultural, economic, political, and scientific) of past generations to find out about the kinds of lives led and problems faced.
There is no better way to obtain the kind of broad education needed in our constantly changing world than through the study of the trails and accomplishments, deeds, and aspirations of past generations.
