The office of the associate vice president of liberal arts provides Collegewide leadership in the area of liberal arts and sciences. Guidance on program and faculty development and evaluation is a priority. With the cooperation of campus leaders, a one-college concept in the arts and sciences disciplines will be promoted. The Collegewide initiatives for this area focus on articulation programs, the Freshman Year Experience, the Honors Program, developing new instructional programs, SACS Quality Enhancement Plan, Title III Project Renaissance and General Education.

Mission:

The purpose of the liberal arts program, also called the university transfer or university parallel program, is to prepare students whose goal is to obtain an Associate in Arts degree; and who wish to transfer as juniors in order to pursue a bachelor’s degree after completion of the two year program of study. The Associate in Arts curriculum is comparable to the freshman and sophomore years at the university. The majority of courses in the program are in general education – such as english, mathematics, humanities, science and social studies. Other courses are selected based on the student’s intended transfer major and are meant to satisfy prerequisite requirements for that major.
