Humanities
Humanities is an interdisciplinary academic field which encourages its scholar/practitioners to interpret the world and their active role in it through a philosophical, creative and artistic immersion in a number of different but overlapping and connected fields of study. Work in the Humanities also suggests a practical professional methodology combining hermeneutics and a "dialogue-reflection-action change" process that allows students to create new or expanded world-view paradigms resulting in personal and systemic growth and change.

Transferability
This degree prepares those interested in Interdisciplinary Studies, Humanities or Classical Studies/Philosophy majors for successful transfer to four-year institutions. Some variation in requirements may exist at a particular four-year transfer institution; therefore, it is essential that students refer to the catalog of the prospective transfer institution and consult a counselor. General Education courses should be carefully selected to meet the requirements of the intended transfer institution; some transfer institutions require more General Education units than required by this AA degree.
