History: Associate of Arts Degree
Description
The Associate of Arts Degree in History is designed to introduce students to the discipline and to prepare them for further study. Many students complete the Associate of Arts degree in order to gain a broader understanding of the world in which they live and to become more informed and engaged citizens. Students can choose to focus on a particular geographic region; however, we recommend that students complete as broad a range of courses as possible.
The Associate of Arts degree can be used as an entry pathway into the Bachelor of Arts Degree in History; however, students should note that the BA only requires six credits of History at the first year level and six credits of History at the second year level.
History courses are reading and writing intensive. It is therefore strongly recommended that students complete the English requirements of their degree within their first two semesters.
