The Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts will provide students with principles, knowledge, and skills required to begin a career in the fields requiring an Associate degree. Students wishing to transfer to a baccalaureate granting institution and pursue a degree in Liberal Arts are strongly encouraged to check with their advisor and coordinate their course work at San Juan College with the requirements of the transfer institution.
