HISTORY

The study of history is an important tool in understanding, interpreting and communicating the changes in society and society’s perceived views of previous events, themes and trends. Analyzing and discussing the influences that contributed to each event, theme and trend creates an increased understanding of how they first occurred and of the effects that resulted in the change to society.

History courses at Kellogg Community College contribute to the completion of KCC degrees including Associate in Arts, General Studies, Global and International Studies and degrees in occupational disciplines.
