Liberal Arts – Social and Behavioral Science Emphasis

If you plan to continue your education, you are encouraged to choose a transfer degree (AA-Transfer) rather than this general degree.  A transfer degree is useful in limiting the number of units that you are required to take at your transfer institution, and ensuring that courses that you take at Taft College are accepted at your next institution.

DESCRIPTION

The Associate in Arts Degree in Liberal Arts with Areas of Emphasis is intended for students not planning to transfer to a 4-year university. This degree is designed to prepare students for life in the global community by developing a core of knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for personal and professional success.

AREA OF EMPHASIS: SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES

These courses allow students to gain a basic knowledge of the cultural and social organizations in which they exist as well as the behavior and social organizations of other human societies. Students will develop an understanding of the perspectives and methods of the social and behavioral sciences.
