History
Learn from the past and improve the future with your Associate of Arts in History Transfer Major from ACC.

When you study history, you’ll learn how empires formed and fell, who lead revolutions and conquered nations, and where ideas and philosophies developed. With our Associate of Arts in History Transfer Major, you won’t just be learning about the people who moved mountains: you’ll mark the starting point where you moved yours.
What You'll Learn
Our history program will teach you how to:
- Compose historical essays with an introduction, body, and conclusion
- Recognize patterns of historic continuity and change
- Identify historical trends, events, people, groups, cultures, and institutions
- Select and apply contemporary forms of technology for historical work
