Humanities Programs

Welcome to the Humanities!

If you enjoy communicating in a thoughtful and creative manner, then you will be interested in humanities courses and programs. A humanities education is the search for life’s meaning through thoughtful expression and exploration. It provides you with an education in the search for answers to questions about personal identity. You will be enriched by taking diverse courses which explore the knowledge of history, the beauty of art, the social aspects of anthropology, the inspiration of design, the wonder of language and much more!

Programs

Social Sciences Programs

Are you interested in working with people or studying how people behave individually or in groups? Then you’re probably interested in the social sciences! We offer a variety of courses leading to certificates/degrees or preparation for transfer to a four year college. Our disciplines, programs, certificates, and transfer pathways include: criminal justice, education, early childhood education, library technology, human services, economics, geography, psychology, political science, and sociology.
