Humanities and sciences programs are available at every degree level, from the associate to the doctorate. These programs teach students to think critically and clearly express their ideas; students also leave the program with a functional knowledge of a particular discipline. Associate programs can be used to transfer to a four-year university or to enter industries like human services and sales. The bachelor's degree delves much more deeply into the student's focus area, including research methods in their given subject. Bachelor's programs can lead to a variety of careers in business, marketing, research assisting, writing, and editing. A master's degree is often the entry-level requirements for research positions in humanities and science areas; positions in academia typically require a PhD.
