History

History is much more than a classroom — historians find lucrative careers working in museums, in the media, doing research and consulting with others.

In this two-year, pre-major program, you'll learn about western civilizations, the history of the pacific northwest and Latin America. You'll dive into United States world history, and get up to speed on current world problems.

This program prepares you to continue your education by transferring to a four-year college or university at a junior standing.

What You’ll Learn

  • Document information from varied primary and secondary sources in an academically responsible manner
  • Interpret historical documents, setting aside personal assumptions and biases in relation to expectations held by other individuals, cultures, societies, and time periods
  • Develop appropriate connections and contributions from the branches of historical study
  • Discuss how events and patterns of have changed over time, impacting present human and world systems

You and your advisor will use this program map as a starting point to create a personal education plan customized to your needs. We meet you where you are and help you reach your goals.
