Description
Location(s): Taylorsville Redwood Campus Close Associate of Arts | 60 Program Website Academic Advising Program Description The Humanities disciplines study the ideas and the meaning-making practices of human cultures, past and present. In seeking to understand the human condition, it prompts empathy, encourages reflection, and demands engagement with complex moral issues. The Humanities explore human experience through examination of texts, performances, art symbols, cultural and historical systems, and other modes of human expression. They most frequently employ historical interpretation, rhetorical analysis, the cultivation of style, creativity, and imagination as part of their analytical frameworks. Humanities disciplines try to understand the quality of cultural products, and what that quality tells us about the values of the individuals and their culture as well as our own. Disciplines that make up this Humanities degree include: History Humanities Philosophy Religious Studies World Languages & American Sign Language This program provides students the opportunity to explore the various Humanities disciplines and their approaches with the option to gain a 9-credit emphasis in one. The list of courses from which to choose is based on articulation with lower division requirements in majors programs at the USHE institutions to which most SLCC students transfer. Students who complete this program as designed will be able to start out at junior status upon transfer. This program also allows students to earn the AA without taking additional hours. Furthermore, students can explore areas outside of the Humanities without sacrificing time and resources toward completion of this degree. Career Opportunities Career opportunities include writing, teaching, publishing, law, journalism, foreign service, advertising, administration, social work, archival and curatorial work, government and civil service, public relations, human resources, management, etc. Transfer/Articulation Information Please refer to the Student Resources section of the SLCC University Transfer webpage.
