Transfer majors ![]()
Earn your Associate in Arts degree with a concentration in philosophy and transfer to a four-year university to earn a bachelor's degree in philosophy or other related majors. You’ll take core classes along with philosophy-specific courses covering ethics, religion, politics, and more.
We recommend taking 4–5 philosophy classes while at 91ÖÆÆ¬³§. Advising Services is available to help you plan the transfer process and provide information on what philosophy courses would fit best with your academic and career goals.
This sample transfer plan assumes you need to take 15 credit hours per semester, and so does not include any AP credit or summer course work. Transfer institution requirements may vary—students should check individual college/university requirements before completing the sample plan as outlined. Please check with your advisor about whether you should take foreign language courses while at 91ÖÆÆ¬³§, based on your likely transfer institution’s graduation requirements.
