Liberal Arts & Sciences

Liberal Arts, or Humanities, refers to the wide range of areas of study within the arts, music, theater, literature, and culture. These subjects are the basis for more advanced programs in English, history, social studies, and more.

Earning a degree in humanities is a great way to get started with college, even if you are not sure what you eventually want to study. When you choose to study humanities, you will earn your general education credits, and be eligible to transfer to a four-year college in the University of Maryland system to pursue your bachelors degree.
