General Studies Concentration

The Liberal Arts concentration is designed for students who have not yet chosen a concentration. It is designed for students to explore different interests in a wide variety of disciplines. Course requirements fulfill the MassTransfer Block and prepare students to transfer to a baccalaureate degree-granting college or university as a junior in a liberal arts program. Students are encouraged to explore electives in disciplines in which they may major at a four-year institution. Specific course choices should be made in consultation with an academic advisor and requirements of the transfer institution.

Students who are matriculated and place into developmental math and/or English are required to begin the course sequence in the first semester. Please see an advisor with questions.
