History majors learn to research, analyze, record, and interpret the past as recorded in sources, such as government and institutional records, newspapers and other periodicals, photographs, interviews, films, electronic media, and unpublished manuscripts, such as personal diaries and letters. History majors go on to become historians for city/state/federal government agencies, corporations, non-profit agencies. Students pursuing a degree in History should follow a program leading to the Associate in Arts Degree, AA-DTA degree and then transfer to a college or university that offers History as a major.
