Associate of Arts, DTA - History Specialization

The History Specialization of the Associate of Arts (DTA) degree prepares students for successful transfer at the junior level in History at our primary transfer universities, including the University of Washington-Tacoma, University of Washington-Seattle, Western Washington University, Central Washington University, Pacific Lutheran University, and the University of Puget Sound, among others. This specialization provides an introduction to the key political, social, cultural, and economic events in American society from the past to the present and a historical study of human societies in the world, with emphasis on their interactions with each other, and the continuous transitions of their traditions from past to the present. Discussions focus on the individuals, issues, ideas, and events most responsible for shaping America and our world throughout history. All public universities in the state of Washington have a language requirement at the bachelor degree level. Students should review those requirements and ensure they meet them prior to transfer. World language credit can be applied toward humanities, multicultural, and general elective requirements of the Associate of Arts degree.
