Liberal Arts & Sciences: Humanities
Associate in Arts

This degree program prepares students for transfer to a four-year college or university to earn a baccalaureate degree in an area of the humanities. Humanities is one of the broadest of the academic disciplines and offers students a great deal of flexibility and significant freedom in course selections. Working with their faculty advisors, JCC students can create academic concentrations in art, English, philosophy, modern language, music, and theatre as a preparation for the completion of the associate degree and eventually a baccalaureate degree. Students in this liberal arts program can study abroad as JCC students and earn credits toward their associate degree.
