Welcome to the

History Department

at Sacramento City College!

History is a record of the political, social, economic, cultural events and achievements of mankind. Historians analyze and evaluate this record in an attempt to understand the past and interpret the present.

Our department offers comprehensiveness and breadth in the undergraduate program. We offer a broad array of courses, including History of the Americas, History of Mexico, Asian Civilizations, African History, World History, and Western Civilization. Additionally, the department has a strong core program in United States History, African American History, California History, as well as honors classes.
