Get started on a major by taking liberal arts and sciences

You can begin any of a number of majors at a two-year college by enrolling in the "liberal arts and sciences" program.

Students who know they intend to transfer typically complete the 60-credit Associate in Arts degree, which is guaranteed to satisfy the first two years of any four-year major.
