Getting Started

Program Description

History is the study of change over time, encompassing a wide range of recorded human experiences. While every field of study has a history, the history discipline falls mainly within the humanities. A bachelor’s degree in history prepares students for careers in law, public service, foreign affairs, teaching, and similar fields that value critical thinking, research, and writing skills coupled with knowledge of history.

The two-year program listed below is designed to meet the requirements for an Associate of Arts in History from CNM and prepare a student to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in History at the University of New Mexico. Students planning to transfer to UNM should keep in mind that the UNM History Program offers four, regional concentrations of study: United States, Latin America, Europe, or Asia. Regardless of concentration, History majors at UNM must all complete the Western Civilization courses, which at CNM are numbered HIST 1101  and HIST 1102 .

 

Career and Educational Opportunities

Gainful Employment information is available from Job Connection Services.

Students interested in transfer to UNM should consult the UNM History department advisor at (505) 277-2501. Students from CNM seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions. Students should always refer to the catalog of their intended transfer institution for admission, program, course, and graduation requirements. College catalogs are generally available online. Students should also consult a faculty advisor and/or the CNM Academic Advising Center.
