Program Description:
The Liberal Studies Associate in Science degree program is a flexible program, allowing students to explore a variety of subject areas. With its generous elective options, this program not only allows students to design their own area concentrations, but also can accommodate the diverse academic experiences that many students have prior to attending Middlesex.
The program will satisfy the Commonwealth Transfer Compact, which guarantees credit transfer to Massachusetts state colleges and the University of Massachusetts, if students include the following electives in their program:
- 9 credits Humanities
- 3 credits college-level Mathematics (MAT 120, MAT 175, MAT 177, MAT 180, MAT 185, MAT 189, MAT 190, MAT 250, MAT 270, MAT 271, MAT 290, MAT 291 )
- 8 credits Science
- 9 credits Social Science
- ENG 101 and ENG 102
Career and Transfer Outlook:
Students in the Liberal Studies program pursue a variety of career and transfer options after graduation. Careful planning with career and academic/transfer counselors at MCC is essential.
Helpful Hints:
Students should begin their Middlesex experience by taking the foundation-level courses (English and mathematics) prior to, or along with, their electives. Writing and mathematics are fundamental to every subsequent course that students experience in the Liberal Studies program.
It is also recommended that students sample courses from a variety of discipline areas each semester, rather than focusing on the areas they are most interested in at the beginning of their studies and leaving the courses they find less interesting until the end of their program coursework.
