#### Description

The humanities seek to render an integrative and critical examination of the human achievements in art, literature, philosophy and music. This approach will broaden and enrich the students’ appreciation of human values derived from the creative forces as expressed in the arts. Courses offered in this curriculum meet general education and transfer requirements and may be applied to a major in humanities for an Associate in Arts degree.

#### Program Learning Outcomes

Upon the successful completion of this program, students should be able to:

1.  For oral and/or written form, discuss both objective and subjective responses to a work of art (literary, performing, or fine).
2.  For oral and/or written form, differentiate between the arts as personal expression and the arts as socially transformative.
