Arts and Sciences Program
Arts and Sciences/Associate of Arts Degree (A.A.)
For students interested in transferring to an institution with a foreign language requirement, this program introduces a broad range of the liberal arts and sciences while providing a thorough preparation in verbal, mathematical and critical-thinking skills. As much as possible, this curriculum meets the general requirements for the first two years of bachelor’s degree work in most programs offered at four-year institutions in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area. Transferability: Credits earned in this program transfer to most four-year public and private colleges or universities. Students should, however, consult an advisor for the specific requirements of the four-year institution to which they plan to transfer.
