If you are undecided about their area of study or if you intend to transfer MassBay credits to bachelor’s degree programs, the foundational “core curriculum” courses found in the Associate Degree in Arts: Liberal Arts and General Studies program might be your best pathway.
With rigorous coursework across disciplines, you will gain skills you will find necessary in a variety of professional pathways. Many of our foundational courses are compatible with transfer to four-year college or university through MassTransfer or to other public or private colleges and universities.
This program provides core competencies of writing, speaking, critical thinking and problem-solving skills studying a broad knowledge of arts, literature, history, psychology, social sciences, science and mathematics.
This program enables students to study a variety of interests and choices from a wide range of subjects. Students also complete career exploration to help assess their options and develop a degree plan to meet their individual needs.
MassBay staff member, Layon Araujo: “I know the struggles of the whole first generation so I’m able to help people with that. I think that’s why I ended up wanting to stay and work at MassBay, and show them that there’s just something really great about the people and MassBay in general.”
