Associate in Arts in History for Transfer - Major #7380
Associate in Arts (AA-T) Degree for Transfer
2024 Fall Semester

History is our changing perspective on the past. Historians attempt not only to understand the causes and significance of human actions in the past but also to interpret those past actions to others, through teaching, publications, lectures, exhibits, documentaries, and conversations. Knowledge of history provides insight into human nature, enhances our understanding of the present, and guides choices for the future. The Associate in Arts in History for Transfer degree is designed for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. To earn the Associate in Arts in History for Transfer degree, students must complete 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable coursework, including either the CSU-GE Breadth or IGETC requirements and 18 units within the major, with a minimum GPA of 2.0. ADTs also require that students must earn a C (or 'P') or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. Local graduation requirements are not required for the transfer degree. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements.
