The history courses required for a history major can vary greatly between colleges, so it is recommended to research the major requirements of the four-year institutions to which you hope to transfer.

As of July 2014, World Language courses are no longer a degree requirement. World Language courses are recommended for students who are transferring to a four-year institution with a World Languages requirement. Please talk with your College Advisor to determine the best education plan for you.
