Roadmap: B.A. in History for Transfers

***FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS ***

By completing the following Roadmap, you will earn a BA in History. Students should have completed a two-year Transfer with Associate’s Degree program, or a minimum of 60 units completing GE Areas A through E.

History provides a general background for studying the humanities or social sciences and understanding the contemporary world. Preparation in history is especially useful for careers which require careful judgment on the basis of evidence, such as law and journalism, as well as teaching and a variety of local, state, or federal government positions, including the United States Foreign Service. A History degree also provides excellent preparation for careers in museum and archival work, and is desirable for any profession that requires well developed skills in critical thinking and writing.

**The listing of upper division major courses are a suggested placement. Course offerings will vary.**

This Roadmap is a recommended advising map to complete the degree program in two years. Please consult your academic advisor as you develop your academic plan.
