History, Philosophy and Political Science
Purpose: A degree in history is a traditional and well-established major encompassing both the humanities and social sciences. Almost all universities offer a baccalaureate (BA) in history. Anne Arundel Community College can readily supply the initial core class requirements for such degrees. The degree can lead to a variety of professions, including teaching, museum studies, and law, but also supplies the knowledge and skills required in many other fields. This concentration provides essential content to understand the world around us, and skills to succeed in it. The understanding of the present requires an understanding of the past.
