The History transfer curriculum is designed to closely follow the lower division general education requirements for History majors at many colleges and universities in Oregon. History majors systematically observe and document the past; a History degree can lead to a career teaching History, or to founding or managing a business, or reporting the news, or managing an archive, or government, law and the professions.
Corporate management trainers report liberal arts majors advance further in business careers than students with other majors, and recent figures show that students majoring History score especially well in entrance examinations for Masters’ of Business Administration (MBA) programs and for law school.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, the student should be able to:
- identify and analyze significant cultures and civilizations
• identify and analyze the interrelationships of selected social, cultural, political, economic and geographic systems
• recognize the effects of historical events upon subsequent issues and situations
•demonstrate the use of the basic tools of historical inquiry: i.e. the practice of locating evidence and applying it to a historical problem; and identifying varying interpretations of historical events.
The two-year program listed below is designed to meet the requirements for an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree from MHCC and prepare a student to obtain a Bachelor of Science/Arts in History at Eastern Oregon University, Oregon State University, Portland State University, Southern Oregon University, University of Oregon, Western Oregon University, Lewis & Clark College, Reed College and University of Portland.
However, students from MHCC seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions. These institutions may require different courses within the various areas of General Education. Students interested in transferring to a four-year college after MHCC should consult with the institution they plan to attend, their academic adviser, as well as the MHCC academic Advising and Transfer Center.
Nine MHCC History courses (the Western Civilization series: HST101-103; the World History series: HST110-112; and the American History series: HST201-203) will transfer directly to Oregons public universities as History credit; each may be taken individually or as part of a sequence. All other MHCC History courses transfer as a social sciences distribution requirement or a social sciences elective. As transfer policies differ, it is vital to check with the transfer institution directly for specific information.
Each of the History courses listed below is offered at least once a hear at MHCC and several are available in an Independent Study format.
