Students may take a variety of courses offered by the History Department. For the student who enrolls in history classes for the first time, placement is made according to college entrance examination scores approved by the History Department. If the student performance on such tests reveal inadequate preparation for satisfactory completion of standard college work in history courses, the student must take and pass both ENGL 0301 Basic English II and READ 0303 College Reading Skills.

HIST 1301 History of the United States Part I and HIST 1302 History of the United States Part II are designed to satisfy the legislative requirement of six semester hours of U.S. history and to fulfill six hours of the core curriculum required for the Associate of Arts (AA) and the Associate of Sciences (AS) Degrees. HIST 2301 History of Texas may be taken to satisfy three hours of the legislative requirement of six hours of U.S. history.

HIST 2311 Western Civilization I and HIST 2312 Western Civilization since the Seventeenth Century II are required for history majors and liberal arts majors at many universities. Each student should determine the requirements of the institution to which the student plans to transfer. These courses, along with HIST 1302 are offered as a part of the honors curriculum in the Raul S. Murguia Presidential Honors Program.

The History Department offers HIST 2321 World Civilization to the 15th Century and HIST 2322 World Civilization from the 15th Century.
