1. Liberal Studies courses are fairly easy to transfer from an accredited institution (including community colleges and online courses).  Courses which reflect similar topics of the College’s designated liberal studies courses (exact equivalent content is not necessary) are typically approved.

Consult for updated approved and denied liberal studies courses:
