Associate in Arts - History (Transfer Degree)

USA

What will I learn?

Students graduating with an Associate in Arts in History for Transfer Degree are well positioned to complete a Bachelor’s Degree in a similar major within the California State University system with 60 units of upper-division coursework. Students who complete the History AA-T degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Students must maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. While a minimum 2.0 is required for CSU admission, some majors may require a higher GPA. Please consult a counselor for more information. Lower-division history courses taken at Orange Coast College will introduce students to the broad sweep of historical events both within the United States and across the world and help them better understand the complexities of the contemporary world. To accomplish this, students learn to view the world from the perspective of people of different times, places, and circumstances. They learn that there is not just one simple explanation of the past. Foundationally, students will learn to read and analyze historical resources in the effort to develop valid arguments. The most obvious application of a bachelor’s degree in history is to prepare individuals to teach, pursue historical research, and work in the museum field. In addition, the insights into the human experience and the skills gained through the study of history - to think clearly and analytically and to communicate effectively both in writing and orally - are excellent preparation for careers in many fields including data analysis, the criminial justice system, public service, and business.
