The interdisciplinary nature of a Liberal Arts degree creates space for students to engage with multiple approaches to learning and gain a broad base of knowledge upon which to build. Built into the requirements of the program are touchpoint courses which will ground students in the academic discipline of liberal studies and provide checkpoints for goal setting and reflection, culminating in a comprehensive digital portfolio.
Upon earning the the Liberal Arts A.A. degree students will have aquired a solid introduction to a wide range of disciplines, gaining knowledge and skills that will serve them well in every area of life, vocation and citizenship. Students will also possess the necessary course requirements to support timely transfer to a 4-year institution to complete a baccalaureate degree.
In addition to acquiring a baseline of knowledge across multiple disciplines, students will develop skills that include:
- Close reading
- Analytical thinking
- Critical appreciation of the arts
- Creative and academic writing
- Proficiency in research and information literacy
