History
.
History students enhance their critical abilities by
examining original texts, acquiring research skills,
learning to write, and analyzing social, political,
economic, and cultural changes over time talents
that will serve them well in any employment
setting. Although most history students pursue
careers in teaching, museum studies, and records
management, they can also be found working
successfully in medicine, the law, governmental
service and business.
Knowledge of history is a key to the future. History
is the foundation of virtually all academic
disciplines because intellectual progress is based
on a critique of traditional assumptions, dogmas,
and paradigms. In a series of writing-intensive
courses, students develop analytical, verbal, and
cultural skills that can be applied to a variety of
professional settings.
Students may be eligible for an Associates degree
from Lone Star College System after their first two
years of study. Please see your Lone Star College
advisor to check the requirements or refer to your
LSC-Catalog pages 76-77. A maximum of 66
hours may transfer from a community college.
The Bachelor of Arts degree may be taken with an
approved minor or may be done with no minor.
The BA degree requires a minimum of 120 credit
hours.
The staff members in the Academic Student
Services Office at the LSC-UC at Montgomery
assist all students in determining which program of
study to pursue. This includes providing
information about the variety of programs available,
reviewing transcripts to aid in identifying any
courses to be completed before entering the
program of choice, and serving as liaison between
the student and university program representatives.
Students who have already earned an associate’s
degree or have a substantial number of college
academic credit hours should contact the Academic
Student Services Office for advising and to begin
the transfer admission process for the university
offering the degree program they desire to pursue.
