History analyzes the past - people, actions, interactions and behaviors - to discover insights for better understanding the present world. History courses work extensively on critical thinking and writing skills which are valuable in other college courses and the professional world. History majors find careers in the law, politics, museum exhibit creation and public outreach, archival work, and a wide variety of public and private sector jobs.

Chemeketa offers a number of history courses. All of these courses can be used to fulfill the Social Science requirements of the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree and the Associate of Science Transfer degrees in Business and Computer Science. See Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) Degree Requirements , Associate of Science/Oregon Transfer Degree in Business (ASOT-BUS) , and Associate of Science/Oregon Transfer Degree in Computer Science (ASOT-CS)  for a complete listing.

Oregon’s state universities offering Bachelor of Arts and/or Bachelor of Science degrees in History are Eastern Oregon University, Oregon State University, Portland State University, Southern Oregon University, University of Oregon, and Western Oregon University.
