| History
courses offered at North Central Texas support the academic
transfer mission of the college, since all state-supported
colleges and universities in Texas require six academic hours
(two courses) in United States history. Many academic
degree plans also require additional courses in the History
of Civilization. The study of history is essential to
all academic programs because it encourages students to develop
the ability to analyze current social and political issues
and problems in terms of their historical development, thus
enhancing critical thinking skills. By providing this
cultural context, these courses give students insight into
their society and the world at large, providing perspectives
not otherwise available.
