Discover Your Potential
An arts and humanities degree helps you discover your strengths and the work that calls to you. While most college majors focus on a narrow subject, this program emphasizes broad study across multiple areas. This approach builds your appreciation for our world and helps you find your place in it.
Build Real-World Skills
Employers seek talented team members who demonstrate the skills built by a liberal arts education:
- Communication
- Creativity
- Critical thinking
- Flexibility
- Problem-solving
These sought-after abilities do more than benefit your future employer, though. They also help you adapt to new challenges and unanticipated opportunities.
Succeed at a University
With this liberal arts background, you can succeed at a four-year school. You do need to plan proactively. Work with a Copper Mountain College counselor and with an advisor from your transfer school to ensure a seamless transfer. By completing this strategic step, you save time, energy, and money. You may also decide to attend graduate or professional school, and you’ll have a competitive edge in the admissions process, according to Best Colleges. Those schools value the versatility of a liberal arts education and the broad skillset of its graduates.
