Arts & Humanities Pathway


The Arts and Humanities Pathway introduces students to the history of ideas that have defined cultures through a study of the visual arts, literature, theatre, music, and media. We emphasize connections among the arts, and how artistic expression has shaped humanity. Students may choose to pursue an AFA in Art or Music or an AA with tracks in English, Journalism/Mass Media, Music, or Theatre that will prepare them to obtain a bachelor’s degree and work in a wide variety of fields.
