Program Summary:
VIRTUAL CLASSES AVAILABLE
Hone critical thinking skills, communication abilities, and creativity. The top skills sought after are management, communications, research, and operations.
The Liberal Arts and Sciences Associate of Arts degree program is a parallel curriculum preparing students for transfer to a four-year program. Required and elective courses are both transferable.
Small classes, attention and concern for individual students, and a suggested sequence of courses are intended to help students acquire fundamental skills of studying, reasoning, and expression. Working with their faculty advisor, students can select courses in academic areas in English, history, psychology, sociology, honors and the sciences.
The liberal arts place emphasis on questions more than specific answers. The courses focus upon ideas, languages, logic, and images of the world, of nature, and society. History, literature, and the sciences offer models and explanations of the events and processes of our lives.
Students interested in pursuing specific areas of study such as, but not limited to the following, should begin with the Liberal Arts degree: Economics, English, Elementary Education, Forest, Technology, History, Legal Studies, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, Pre-Forestry, Pre-Nursing, Psychology, Science, Sociology, Secondary Education, or Women's Studies.
This degree requires the completion of at least 7 of the 10 SUNY General Education requirements. SUNY SULLIVAN encourages students to complete all 10 requirements.
