A primary mission of the History program is to prepare students to transfer to a four-year university, with emphasis on transition into a history department that awards a Bachelor of Arts degree. A secondary mission of the history program is to promote the necessary skills and knowledge students will need for employment as research analysts and/or story-tellers in public museums, state and national parks, or other history settings.
Associate in Arts (A.A.) programs require 44 hours of general education core coursework as well as 21 hours of additional studies to prepare students to continue their education at a four-year institution and/or enter the workplace immediately upon graduation.
Students should contact the four-year institution to which they intend to transfer for assistance in deciding which courses at Southeastern are most appropriate for their major.
Students should also consult with their advisors to help plan a program of study to complete program course work and fulfill the minimum general education competency requirements that must be met prior to graduation.
The Pre-History program is designed for students who have chosen a career in research or other related area of history and who wish to transfer to a senior college or university to pursue a four-year degree with a major in history. Many history majors choose to pursue careers as historians, librarians, businesspersons, writers, archivists, researchers, teachers, politicians, and lawyers.
