School of Arts and Sciences

The School of Arts and Sciences offers transfer associate degree programs in

conjunction with area four-year colleges and universities. Students can choose

a general concentration or a more specialized area, such as English literature,

history or biology. Courses taken at Owens Community College parallel the

freshman and sophomore courses normally found at a four-year college or

university. In addition, the School of Arts and Sciences complements the College’s

technical curricula with courses that build the General Education competencies

— quantitative reasoning, written communication, oral communication, critical

thinking, social responsibility and information literacy — thus preparing students

for an ever-changing world.
