Liberal Arts Focus, AA

The Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts exposes students to a wide variety of topics while building their ability to write creatively, research extensively, debate ideas, and apply critical thinking to any situation.

As Liberal Arts students continue their education, they can begin a wide range of careers in writing, management, teaching at all levels (elementary, secondary, and post-secondary), government, international relations, law, politics, sales, marketing, and public relations.
