This two-year pathway is designed for students who wish to complete an Associate of Arts - Direct Transfer Agreement degree with a concentration in Philosophy.  Students in this program develop skills in problem solving, analytical thinking, communication, information management, writing, reading and interpretation of text.  Drawing connections between philosophical questions, other disciplines, and lived experiences expands students' capacity for insight, problem-solving, and decision-making regarding actions.  These skills are widely adaptable to a range of careers, valued by many employers, and applicable to students' public and private lives.

Completion of this program allows students to transfer at the junior level into a Philosophy program at a four-year college or university, as well as opening doors to a variety of careers in sectors including non-profit, business, government, entertainment, and education.
