Division of Arts and Sciences

Today's society requires successful individuals to possess a wide range of skills, knowledge, and attitudes. Individuals must have, not only a highly specialized knowledge in a particular field of endeavor, but also a broader range of knowledge, competencies and appreciations. The Division of Arts and Sciences has the responsibility of assisting students in developing both specialized and general skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to lead a good, responsible, and happy life.

The Division of Arts and Sciences provides general education requirements for  those students planning (1) to transfer to 4-year colleges and university, (2) to enter professions, or (3) to engage in other gainful occupations and vocations.

Transfer Guarantee: PCCUA offers a transfer guarantee to ensure the courses you take for credit will be accepted by other colleges or universities. If you plan to attend Phillips College for a year or two and you know your major, and the four-year institution in which you plan to transfer, we guarantee that your courses will be accepted.

Transfer Programs of Study: The Arts and Sciences Division offers transfer programs in Biology, chemistry, education, English, general education, history, mathematics, music, physical education, pre-med, pre-law, pre-pharmacy, performing arts, social sciences, and speech. Each program offers the course work that is required in the first two years of most bachelors' degree programs at many four- year schools. Upon completion of requirements, students maybe award one of two associate degrees:

bulletAssociate of Arts
bulletAssociate of Liberal Arts

Partnership Agreements: To facilitate the transfer process, Phillips Community College has established partnership agreements with Arkansas State University, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the University of Central Arkansas, and Philander Smith College. Satisfactory completion of the Associate of Arts degree at PCCUA will be accepted as satisfying the general requirements at those institutions. A student who holds an Associate of Arts degree from PCCUA and meets guidelines from the college to which he/she wishes to transfer will be accepted to transfer with junior classification, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the University of Central Arkansas, and Philander Smith College.

Classes: Classes at PCCUA are small, guaranteeing you individual and personal attention that you often cannot find in freshman or sophomore classes at four-year schools.

Experienced Faculty: The experienced, well-prepared faculty care about each student and faculty are willing to take the extra step to help students succeed. All faculty members of our transfer courses have masters' or doctorate degrees.

Award Winning Advising System: Every student is assigned an advisor who attempts to meet with each of his/her advisees a minimum of three times per semester. Our advisors have developed close communication with their counterparts at four-year colleges and have special training in working with transfer students.
