AA/AS in Philosophy

Philosophy students take up basic questions about worth, faith, government, truth and the nature of reality through the work of major thinkers and influential texts. The discipline develops skills in careful reading, writing, inventive and critical thought, and sound personal judgment. The transfer degree is meant to prepare students for the upper division coursework needed for a baccalaureate in Philosophy. Completion requires the listed courses with a C or higher, the Cal-GETC pattern, and a minimum overall CSU GPA of 2.0. The catalog lists the program length as 24 months, and federal financial aid approval is shown as in place. Prospective students can read the full course list and a suggested plan of study on the catalog page at Victor Valley College. Because requirements differ between pathways, it makes sense to talk with a counselor early and map out each term before enrolling in courses.
