About the Area of Study
History is a branch of knowledge that records and explains past events. If you plan to obtain a bachelor's degree in History, you may complete the first two years of your studies at Lake Michigan College. All of the History courses are transferable to other Michigan colleges as well as other four-year colleges and universities.

History majors find employment in areas such as teaching, library/archival fields, and government service. Along with Political Science, a bachelor's degree in History is regarded as a stepping stone to law school. Students are strongly urged to complete two semesters of German, French, or Spanish.

Consult a faculty advisor for specific guidance.
