History, A.A.-T

Mt. San Jacinto College

History is the inquiry into, and the interpretations of, past events, peoples, and eras. The study of history is an important undertaking allowing us to examine our human heritage, explore societies from around the world and their relationship to one another, and appreciate how the past has shaped the world we live in. As more informed citizens of the world we will be better equipped to recognize other perspectives, question our own assumptions, and critically analyze and engage with the challenges of the twenty-first century.
