These courses emphasize the study of cultural, literary, humanistic activities and artistic expression of human beings. With careful planning, the Humanities emphasis will satisfy the lower division major courses to transfer to a university and earn a Bachelor’s degree in the various fields of Humanities. Students must meet with a counselor to ensure completion of required coursework for chosen major and specific college/university.

Program Overview

Associate Degree in Humanities can be completed within two (2) years
