The skills developed in history courses include historical research and writing, the critical analysis of primary and secondary sources, the ability to differentiate between different historical interpretations of the same event, and the ability to communicate historical matter orally. The Associate in Arts in History degree requires completion of the AA-GE pattern (24 units), CSU-GE pattern (40 units), or the IGETC-CSU pattern (37 units).
