Welcome to the
History Department Web site!
 The History Department regularly offers survey
courses in American and European history and the history of the
Pacific Northwest. Occasionally, faculty members make available more
specialized courses in African, Asian, American, or European history.
Many students take history courses simply because
of personal interest, but those courses also fulfill a variety of
requirements. Students planning to earn an AA degree and transfer to a
four-year institution, for example, can take history classes to meet
the Social Sciences distribution requirement for Area 1 (see the
AA Planning sheets). Those considering majoring in history might
want to choose history as an "Emphasis Area" under the AA degree
Method II. Running Start students not only earn college credits but
also also fulfill high school history or social sciences requirements
by taking history courses at Highline. Even students who plan to earn
an
Associate of Science degree can find history courses to be useful
and interesting electives.
For whatever reasons students choose to take them, history courses at
Highline Community College help students develop important skills that
are readily transferable to other disciplines: reading carefully,
writing clearly, and thinking critically.
