    History

    Studying history is more than just studying the past and memorizing names, dates, and events. Studying history is learning more about the world around us and, through that learning, understanding how and why history shapes our lives.

    Department Overview

    Laney College history classes provide students with the creative and intellectual challenges, opportunities, and support that will lead to individual and social growth. History students will improve their research and communication skills and develop critical analysis and creative thinking through historical interpretation. These skills will connect students' lives to the histories of others to learn from the past and help make a better future.

    Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.
