About the Program
The History Discipline at NVC provides opportunities for students to better understand history in a collaborative environment and prepares students for further study. History students think critically and creatively about the past and apply skills learned from historical knowledge to their educational and career goals. Our mission is to explore the past, examine our present, and take responsibility for our future.
What will I learn?The History Discipline at NVC teaches eight different courses designed for instruction in knowledge and content of specific areas, time periods, and themes. The U.S. History core courses are taught so that students go beyond the tenets of American history, and incorporate crucial information literacy components so students are prepared for transfer to a four-year university or the workforce. Faculty in the discipline routinely offer World History, Texas History, Mexican American History, and African American History courses designed for inclusivity and exploration of local, regional, national, and global perspectives. Our faculty focus upon Course Learning Outcomes with the goal of student mastery in historical knowledge, critical thinking and analysis, and composition, as well as mastery of broader skills such as communication and social and personal responsibility so students strengthen themselves and our community.
