History is the study of the past. Historians use written evidence, statistical information, and other materials to reconstruct the story of humanity and gain insight into the present. MCC offers introductory courses in World History and U.S. History, plus specialized courses in African American history, women's history, the Holocaust, and Michigan History. A bachelor's degree in history prepares graduates for careers in business, education, and government, as well as graduate study in history, law, business, and public administration.
