Interdisciplinary Studies: Arts and Humanities Option, Associate in Arts
The Arts and Humanities option is designed for the student planning to transfer to a four-year college or university with the goal of obtaining a Baccalaureate degree. With careful planning the student will be able to complete lower division transfer preparation while concurrently completing the Associate in Arts degree. Careful course selection is essential for successful transfer in a timely fashion without completing unnecessary coursework. Students planning to transfer to a California State University (CSU) in English or Studio Art should explore completing the AS-T degree designed specifically for transfer to the CSU. An AS-T degree provides the highest priority admission and other benefits for students who successfully complete them. Additional Arts and Humanities AA-T degrees may become available in the near future. See the college catalog or a counselor for additional information regarding AA-T/AS-T Degrees for transfer to the CSU.
Students are encouraged to see a counselor for assistance in developing an educational plan that will identify the lower division major preparation and general education coursework that corresponds to the intended major and transfer institution. Students should consult www.ASSIST.org for current course articulation in their major. Please refer to the "Essential Transfer Information Checklist" located in the transfer section of the current college catalog. Counseling appointments may be scheduled online by selecting "Counseling" under "Student Resources" on the Delta College home page, or by calling the Guidance and Counseling Office at (209) 954-5650. Failure to consult with a counselor may unnecessarily delay progress toward transfer.
Courses in the Arts and Humanities option are those which focus on the cultural activities and artistic expressions of human beings. Such courses include introductory or integrative courses in arts, foreign languages, history, literature, music, philosophy, religion, and theatre. These courses are designed to help the student develop an awareness of the ways in which people throughout the ages and in different cultures have responded to themselves and the world around them in artistic and cultural creation and help the student develop aesthetic understanding and the ability to make value judgments. Transfer majors appropriate for this option include but are not limited to: Art, English, Fashion, Graphic Arts, Interior Design, Foreign Language, Linguistics, Music, Philosophy, and Theatre Arts.
