Pathway Overview
Program Pathways are a series of courses and experiences carefully selected to help you earn your credential and prepare for your career or university transfer. Program Pathway Maps guide you through quarter-by-quarter coursework, indicate when you’ll need to complete important steps, and describe popular careers in this pathway. Some course sequences or recommended courses can be customized or adjusted by speaking with an advisor.
Pathways
Two-year transfer degrees let you take your freshman and sophomore classes at Seattle Colleges for a fraction of the cost, and then transfer to a four-year university with the skills and confidence to succeed. Be sure to work with a transfer advisor at Seattle Colleges and the four-year institution you plan to attend. Depending on your program of study, you can earn either an Associate of Arts (AA-DTA), Associate in Business (AB-DTA), or Associate of Science (AS), Track 1 or Track 2.

History, as a discipline, studies and interprets the past in order to arrive at explanations for what past evidence indicates about peoples, events, places, and time periods under consideration.
Historians may study the history of particular groups of people (e.g. women's history or Asian American history), they may study particular events (e.g. history of the Vietnam War or the Crusades), they may study the history of a single country or region (e.g. Pacific Northwest history or Middle East history), or they may confine their interest to a limited time period (e.g. early American history or Medieval history).
Earn a college transfer degree that includes History classes.
Historians take different approaches to their inquiries, and different historians take different approaches to their research and writing. Because individual historians bring different perspectives and different questions to their work, historical interpretations are constantly changing and evolving.
