History is the study of how the society we live in came to be. Through contemplation and analysis of historical materials, historians interpret the past and construct collective memory. The Associate Degree for Transfer in History supplies students with foundational knowledge in United States and World History, as well as with an introduction to the historical inquiry process. The degree offers three of five courses required in the CSU, Chico major core program, in addition to courses approved for CSU General Education.
