Program Description
Humanities is the broadest of the academic disciplines because it is concerned with the whole spectrum of one’s social, intellectual, artistic, and spiritual history. Humanities study reflects many aspects of human aspiration and achievement. Academic subjects commonly included in humanities are literature, modern languages, philosophy and the arts.
The Liberal Art and Sciences: Humanities degree with a concentration in Spanish allows students to explore their interests through flexible General Education coursework in other academic areas, while preparing them for a degree majoring in Spanish at a four-year institution or career through a required sequence of courses focusing on oral and written skills in Spanish and familiarizing them with Latino culture.
The Associate in Arts degree at Westchester Community College parallels most liberal arts programs in four-year colleges and universities. Most graduates of this degree program transfer to four-year institutions to continue their education. By choosing their courses carefully, many graduates are able to transfer with full credit and complete the bachelor’s degree in two additional years of study.
