AA/AS in Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies and Humanities

The Liberal Arts pathway is meant for students who want to explore several subjects before settling on a major, particularly those who expect to continue at a four-year university. Coursework builds skills in analysis, writing and speaking, creative thinking, and working with others. Students earn an Associate of Arts and can choose a field of study from five areas: Communication Studies, English, Government, Psychology, or Sociology. History and foreign languages are offered too, though only as individual courses rather than as full fields of study. Those who are undecided about a career are encouraged to browse a national occupational information tool, which helps them compare possible jobs and match them to their interests before choosing a direction at the college.
