The people of ancient Greece supported the ideal of "a sound mind in a sound body." Education should therefore be more than a preparation for making a living, but a preparation for life itself.
Education should enable people to more fully realize their intellectual, ethical, aesthetic, and creative potentialities in order that they might live more satisfying and meaningful lives and make effective contributions to their society's well being.
Understanding this, the liberal arts curriculum is a good beginning for students who are undecided about a specific field of study. The suggested curriculum has purposely been designed to be as broad as possible to allow students to investigate several academic areas, and explore their own potentialities. Many bachelor degrees require a broad sampling of liberal arts courses, and the curriculum listed below should fulfill the general education needs of most transferring students. The curriculum is also appropriate for students who plan to major in such humanities-based majors as religion or philosophy. Students who complete the requirements earn an Associate in Arts degree.
Students following the liberal arts curriculum should work closely with an advisor or counselor to define major and minor areas of study during the sophomore year. With a very few exceptions, bachelor degrees require majors and minors, with most concentrated study done during junior and senior years.
Career Possibilities: Depends on major or minor.
