Graduates of the Arts and Sciences program at Carroll Community College are well positioned to transfer to four-year colleges and universities in Maryland as well as other states. The program allows students to select transfer oriented courses based on a receiving institutions requirements and form the basis of a solid foundation in the liberal arts. Because the Arts and Sciences program is designed for transfer, it provides framework for preparation for occupations requiring a broad background. Graduates can pursue careers in art, computers, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law, sciences, the humanities and social sciences as well as other fields. Moreover, the degree provides a foundation that allows students to change career direction later.

The Arts and Sciences degree requires 34 credits in highly transferable general education courses and 26 credits of electives, which should be selected to satisfy the freshman and sophomore bachelor’s degree requirements. Using ARTSYS and the resources in the Advising and Transfer Center, students can customize a degree to meet personal transfer requirements. For maximum credit transferability, students should choose a major and transfer institution before 30 credits are earned. In addition to transferability and flexibility, a Carroll Community College Arts and Sciences degree provides an education that places great emphasis on helping students become independent learners, capable of exploring many subjects.

Disclosure Regarding Programs for Professional Licensure or Certification

Some programs at Carroll Community College (CCC) are designed to meet educational requirements for a specific professional licensure or certification that is required for employment in an occupation.

If you are an out-of-state student seeking professional licensure in a state other than Maryland and you are taking a course or program leading to professional licensure or certification, CCC currently does not guarantee that the course or program meets requirements for professional licensure or certification anywhere other than Maryland. We encourage all students, especially out-of-state students, to contact the appropriate state (or District of Columbia or U.S. territory) licensing board or agency where you intend to work to familiarize yourself with the state educational, licensing, and/or certification requirements.
