The History Department at Cañada College offers a broad variety of courses intended to prepare students for transfer and for global citizenship. In history classes, students deepen their knowledge of the past while improving their reading, writing and research skills. Our courses meet many general education requirements in addition to providing the classes necessary for History majors.
History majors commonly become lawyers, teachers, professors, museum professionals, journalists, and archeologists. History provides a solid foundation for those wishing to work in business, politics and public policy. History is also an excellent major for anyone hoping to get a teaching credential in the Social Sciences.
