Admission Information:
Students should have completed a college preparatory curriculum in high school.
Other Information:
English, Communication, Political Science, and history courses can help prepare students careers in journalism or other media. Fine Arts courses can be combined with other disciplines to prepare students for careers working in museums or art galleries in research, marketing, or management capacities. Others could use the degree to prepare for careers in Library Science or in the publishing industry. Because students select from a range of disciplines to individualize their programs, there are many other career possibilities.
The Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies will focus on the core competency areas of communication, critical thinking, understanding society, and self-understanding. Students will complete eight hours each in the humanities, fine arts, and social sciences, and then select one of those three as an area of concentration. Students are encouraged to use the services of an academic advisor to select courses from a variety of disciplines.
