Associate in Arts in Liberal Arts Degree Program


Curriculum for students entering program in 2008-09.

Specific Admission Requirements

The Liberal Arts curriculum provides students with broad general knowledge and skills in the Arts and Sciences. It is designed to provide a basis for transfer to four-year liberal arts programs at other colleges and universities. 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.

Specific Admission Requirements

  1. One year of college preparatory mathematics (algebra I) with a grade of “C” or better.
