Description
The Liberal Arts and Sciences curriculum provides a means for students with career interests that do not readily align with the requirements of the Liberal Arts and Sciences: Mathematics and Science or the Liberal Arts and Sciences: Humanities and Social Science curricula to pursue a liberal arts degree. This curriculum has been designed to be flexible and also allows students who change career choices, decide to explore new career choices or who have transferred credits from other schools to put together a program of liberal arts study for transfer to a four-year school. The Liberal Arts and Sciences program is also appropriate for students wishing to earn a high school equivalency diploma while enrolled in college; however, financial aid is not available to students in this situation.
