Transfer Degrees in Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Division Information

The Division comprises a vibrant collection of over 20 areas of study that range from the fine and performing arts, to world languages, to an array of disciplines that study the relationships between individual, culture, and society. In all that we do, the Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences Division embraces integrated learning, diversity, and multiculturalism as the most essential components in teaching and learning at Seattle Central. We also offer three professional preparation programs in Apparel Design and Development, Graphic Design, and Visual Media.

Only the liberal arts prepare students to thrive in their academic and professional career goals in a world of increasingly uncertainty and complexity. In Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences courses, you will acquire the communicative, critical, creative, collaborative, and global-learning skills that will prepare you not just for further studies or a career, but for a rich personal future full of opportunities and success. From Anthropology to Visual Media, from Art to Psychology, and from English to World Languages, the AHSS Division programs prepare you to value the rich varieties of human experience, to understand the relationship between the self and the community, and to establish a foundation for life–long learning that can take you anywhere.

Whether you are looking to take classes for personal enjoyment, to add general education coursework to a professional–technical or workforce certificate, or to transfer to a four–year college or university, the Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences Division provides a range of inspiring, challenging educational opportunities for you to meet your personal and professional learning goals.
