AA/AS in History

The History Pre-Major introduces one of the oldest academic disciplines and helps students understand the world and its cultural diversity. Students practice analyzing events and trends and reaching informed decisions grounded in knowledge of the past. The page argues that this ability matters more as news and opinion change quickly. Course offerings include United States, world, Texas, Mexican-American and African-American history, taught by experienced faculty. History study can lead toward education, information management, business, law, public service and publishing, and it serves as a foundation for transfer. The program is offered at St. Philip's College, part of the Alamo Colleges district in San Antonio, Texas. The program page points to the college course catalog and lists department contacts for prospective students who want details about courses, advising and next steps.
