Are you unsure of your major, but have an interest in learning more about math and science? Are you interested in how science has shaped the world around you? If you have an aptitude for thinking logically and enjoy solving problems, the liberal arts mathematics and science program may be a good fit for you!
Allan Hancock College's liberal arts program offers students the option to gain knowledge in a variety of subject areas. The program includes courses that emphasize the natural sciences, which examine the physical universe, its life forms, and its natural phenomena. Additional courses in mathematics emphasize the development of mathematical and quantitative reasoning skills beyond the level of intermediate algebra. Students will examine the influence that the acquisition of scientific knowledge has had on the development of the world's civilizations.
The Associate Degree in liberal arts is designed for students who wish to have a broad knowledge of liberal arts and sciences, plus additional coursework in an "area of emphasis" in math and science. Students can transfer courses to a four-year university for further study.
This program will help you to:
- demonstrate an ability to think logically and critically in solving problems
- explain conclusions and evaluate, support, or use critical thinking skills
- understand the facts and principles that form the foundations of living and non-living systems
- understand experimental methodology, the testing of hypothesis, the power of systematic questioning, and the influence of the scientific method on the world's civilizations
