Liberal Arts

Associate in Arts

This degree prepares students for transfer to four-year liberal arts programs. In the core general education courses, emphasis is on major fields of academic inquiry, their approaches to creating knowledge, important developments in these fields, and the implications that these have for decision-making in our private and public lives. Students build on this foundation and prepare for continued study in a major by completing additional credits in an area of concentration.

There are separate catalog entries describing course requirements for ACCC's Liberal Arts option degrees. Students should refer to the appropriate pages of the catalog for direction.

Students planning to apply to a New Jersey college are advised to select either SPCH110 or SPCH120 as a liberal arts elective and one of the following history courses: HIST101, 102, 103 or 104. Additionally, students should plan on counting HPED150 as a 46th credit. For further information about transfer agreements with New Jersey colleges and universities see one of ACCC's transfer counselors, check out our transfer agreements and transfer information.
