Liberal Arts: Arts and Humanities

Explore the Liberal Arts: Arts & Humanities

Interested in art, history, film, philosophy, or languages, but unsure of your major? Allan Hancock College’s Liberal Arts: Arts and Humanities program is the perfect place to explore your interests.

You’ll study how people across cultures and history express themselves through art, language, and ideas—developing critical thinking, cultural awareness, and aesthetic appreciation.

This degree offers a broad foundation in the arts and humanities and can help you discover subjects you’re passionate about. Many students transfer to four-year universities to continue studies in history, art, music, drama, film, and more.

This program will help you to:

• develop an ability to identify artwork from various periods and styles
• develop an appreciation for the importance of art in society
• recognize the ways art can affect and/or reflect cultural, political, and humanistic issues
• understand the interrelationship between the creative arts, the humanities, and the self
• develop an appreciation of the beauty and values that have shaped and enriched our culture
• understand the ways in which people through the ages have responded to themselves and the world around them
