ASSOCIATE OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS

Studying the liberal arts is an effective way to develop an appreciation for the history of intellectual inquiry and a passion for lifelong learning. Our program gives you the flexibility to create your own educational pathway by exploring ideas in three domains of learning:

• Humanities: art history, communications, English, foreign languages, history, music, philosophy, religious studies, and theater.

• Natural Sciences and Math: biology, chemistry, and mathematics.

• Social Sciences: economics, human services, political science, psychology, and sociology.

This coursework will expose you to the multiple ways that human civilizations have created and organized knowledge and articulated ethical systems that shape social and cultural values. It will also encourage you to determine which ideas are important to you and how you can incorporate them into your life. As you engage ideas from around the globe, you should expect to improve your reasoning and problem-solving skills, expand your appreciation of cultural diversity, develop a mature understanding of the self through personal reflection, and build the skills necessary to become an engaged member of your communities.
