MATC Liberal Arts Transfer
 
The Liberal Arts Transfer program serves students who wish to earn an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree and/or wish to gain college credits for transfer. The program provides students with an excellent foundation for continuing experience in higher education.
 
Through inquiry, observation, and analysis, students gain knowledge and skills in the Arts and Sciences, which enable them to broaden their perspective, increase problem-solving skills, and express themselves effectively in both writing and speaking. Students take courses within a core curriculum emphasizing either arts or sciences based on their individual education goals. This core is offered in conjunction with advising, appropriately small classes, regular consultation with instructors, innovative course design, and student-centered learning.
 
The Arts and Sciences division offers two degrees; the Associate in Arts and the Associate in Science. The degrees are designed for students planning to transfer to a four-year university. By completing one of these degrees at MATC, students will generally satisfy the first two years of general education requirements for various majors in four-year colleges and universities and obtain an educational foundation in languages, humanities, sciences, mathematics, and the social sciences.
 
If students have a particular four-year institution in mind, it is important that you verify the transferability of credits to that college for graduation and for your major. If you have not selected a major field of study, enrolling in the Liberal Arts Transfer program will give you exposure to several areas of study and a broad preparation for transfer.
