Is a two-year degree what you need to capture that next job or promotion? Perhaps you’re a displaced factory worker trying to find your way in a tough job market. Our two-year program in liberal studies has you in mind.
As a liberal studies major, you’ll take courses in a wide variety of areas: History. The arts. Business. Behavioral science like psychology or sociology. And, some electives that you will find fun and interesting.
When you have your associate’s degree, you are more employable, and even a better choice for promotion. Get that new or better job. Or, use it as a stepping stone toward a bachelor’s degree. You’ll be half way there with a liberal studies degree.
