Introduction
The Associate in Arts degree (AA) in Liberal Arts: Social and Behavioral Sciences provides students with a broad perspective on human behavior. It is designed to stimulate appreciation for, and understanding of values, ideas, and artifacts of culture and society. Critical thinking skills and self-understanding through these courses provide a framework for lifelong study in liberal arts.
Successful completion of the curriculum in Social and Behavioral Sciences offers students a breadth of knowledge that could be focused on single discipline degrees as well as applied to an interdisciplinary degree. The Degree is intended for students who are considering transfer but have not decided on a major or for students who are required to complete a degree for a job promotion. In all cases, students should consult with a counselor to develop a program of study
Students must receive a minimum grade of “C” or better in all required core courses and electives in order to qualify for the degree. As this degree alone may not be complete preparation for transfer, students wishing to continue at the UC or CSU system should meet with a Counselor to develop a transfer plan which addresses all general education and lower-division transfer requirements.
Program Outcome
Students who complete the program will be able to:
- Use discipline-appropriate approaches to critically analyze social problems or processes.
- Analyze the consequences of social actions or forces and their impact upon social structure or the individual.
- Evaluate the foundations of diversity within the human experience.
