The program is flexible – students select courses based on the requirements of the four-year college to which they plan to transfer. Students who have not yet decided on an intended field of specialization may wish to begin with the general curriculum; concentrations in English and the life sciences are also available. The degree of Associate in Arts in Liberal Arts will be awarded upon successful completion of all program requirements.
