History

The History program at Solano Community College explores how societies have evolved over time, examining the social, political, economic, and cultural forces that shaped them.

From U.S. and World History to African-American, Mexican-American, California, Western Civilization, and Women’s History, students gain a broad and meaningful perspective on humanity’s past—because understanding history is the first step to shaping the future.

History isn’t just studied—it’s lived.
