About the course

The Liberal Arts AA Degree is designed to expose students to a wide variety of subjects and perspectives at the postsecondary level who desire a broad knowledge of the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences plus additional coursework in an “Area of Emphasis”. This area of emphasis would be an ideal choice for students planning on transferring to the California State University or University of California as the student can satisfy their general education requirements, plus focus on transferable course work that relates to majors at CSU or UC. Please consult with a counselor for specific information regarding your intended major at the specific colleges/university of

　　your choice.

　　The Liberal Arts Degree: Arts and Humanities is a group of courses emphasizing the human condition — its limits,potential and creative expressions — through the study of cultural, literary and artistic expression of human beings. Students will evaluate and interpret the ways in

　　which people through the ages in different cultures have responded to awareness of themselves and the world around them in artistic and cultural creation. Students will also learn to value aesthetic understanding and incorporate it when constructing value judgments. Students

　　must complete 18 units from at least two of the following disciplines with a grade of “C” or better: Art, Chinese, Communication, Counseling, English, German, Humanities, Mexican and Latin American Studies, Music, Philosophy, Spanish, or Vietnamese.
