The Arts and Sciences Program provides a wide range of course offerings in the Liberal Arts for all students at the College. Some students only take several courses in the program, but many enroll in the two-year sequences leading to the Associate in Arts degree. A large number of students in the Arts and Sciences Program plan to transfer to four-year colleges and universities as sophomores or juniors after one or two years at Tri-C. They are enrolled in what is usually referred to as the University Parallel curriculum, courses paralleling those offered in the first two years of a four-year institution. Credits earned in this curriculum may be transferred to colleges and universities as the first and second years of a Bachelor's degree program. Tri-C's University Parallel curriculum includes many courses designed to prepare students for upper division study in such specialized fields as medicine, dentistry, law, business, education and engineering.
