History-option
Liberal Arts, Associate in Arts
A degree in History provides a well-rounded liberal arts background to students seeking to continue their education. Careers directly related to history include teaching, museum work and research.
Students seeking a baccalaureate degree in history from a four-year institution should obtain an associate in arts degree in liberal arts. It is recommended that not more than 15 credits be earned in history at ACCC to avoid any possible transfer problems. Most four-year institutions prefer that courses in a student's major be taken there. A history emphasis at ACCC has no special entrance requirements, other than completing college entrance criteria, and can be earned both full- and part-time.
