Arts and Humanities - Programs of Study

Interdisciplinary Studies
An Arts and Sciences A.A. Degree Program (Transfer)
For Curriculum Information Contact the Arts and Humanities Division—Room HVPA-200—410-772-4940

This curriculum is designed for those students who want to use an interdisciplinary approach in the pursuit of knowledge. Students choose one of three options: Diversity Studies, Fine Arts Studies or Women’s Studies. Each option is designed to transfer to a four-year school where students would further their studies in a similar concentration. The curriculum gives the student flexibility to pursue a major interest and, at the same time, to fulfill the lower-division general education requirements for transfer to a baccalaureate degree program. Students should seek guidance from advisors and the institution to which they wish to transfer to determine appropriate coursework for specific transfer programs.
