Program Description

The Humanities degree program is a liberal arts degree with concentrations in Fine Arts or English. Students selecting the Humanities degree should be interested in transferring to a baccalaureate degree program after completion of their associate degree at Erie Community College. The Humanities degree is broad enough to transfer as the core foundation for a variety of baccalaureate degrees in liberal arts, education and pre-professional programs. However, most students selecting the Humanities degree have one or more of the following interests: pursuing a four-year degree in teacher certification at the elementary school level or in secondary English; pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in art, drama, music, philosophy, English, or combination of these areas; pursuing other professional careers related to art, drama, music, English or foreign languages (including Spanish, French, music and sign language), or pursuing a bachelor's degree in Humanities.

The Humanities Department has joint articulation agreements with Buffalo State College, Brockport State and the University at Buffalo. The Humanities program has excellent transferability to all SUNY institutions, as well as private colleges in the Western New York area. Completion of the Humanities Associate in Arts degree allows the student to transfer to a four-year institution as full first semester juniors in most cases.
