Description
The curriculum in the Humanities Associate of Arts degree program is designed to provide the transfer student the opportunity to achieve an Associate degree. While a baccalaureate or higher degree is recommended for those considering majors in the humanities such as English, history, art history, literature or philosophy, earning the Associate degree would demonstrate achievement and may support attempts to gain entry-level employment. While there are few direct pathways for the recipient of a Humanities degree, or any Liberal Arts degree, student who major in the Humanities and other Liberal Arts find employment because of their development of critical skills in writing, collaboration, and communication. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Liberal Arts majors find employment in fields including management, teaching, legal fields, sales, media, and more.
