History is an academic discipline concerned with the manner by which people and institutions of all kinds have become transformed with the passage of time. In the study of history it is more important to learn the skills of finding, interpreting and relating historical information than it is simply to memorize historical data. Through the study of history, students can acquire the techniques of gathering and applying information to gain a perspective on the human condition. For those who transfer to a four-year college, positions for which graduates in History are qualified include teaching, state and national park historian, historical archaeologist, and government positions. There are broad areas in the job market where a liberal arts background is needed.
