Liberal Arts, A.A.

A Liberal Arts degree cultivates in students practices of critical thinking that integrate the knowledge of history, language arts, philosophy, visual and performing arts, religious studies, and social sciences into a coherent, but adaptable perspective.

Students acquire a broad-based education to become proficient readers, writers, speakers, and problem solvers. They are prepared for further study in these fields and careers that call for creative and innovative thinking, effective communication, sound interpersonal skills, and flexibility. Studying the Liberal Arts also kindles a deep, lasting commitment to lifelong learning, personal growth, cultural diversity, civic engagement, and ethical living.
