Corning Community College's Liberal Arts and Sciences: Humanities and Social Sciences AAS provides the first two years of a traditional college education leading toward such professions as law, teaching at all levels through college, journalism, psychology, international affairs; translation, political science, and many more that require a working knowledge of a modern language as well as a strong academic background. 

By following a rigorous Liberal Arts and Sciences curriculum, graduates will have developed capabilities in academic research and writing, the ability to apply scientific method and critical thinking skills to validate their own ideas and inquiries, sufficient math skills to deal with complex problems, and an awareness and appreciation of living in a culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse society. The Humanities, Social Sciences, and Liberal Arts and Sciences electives allow students to focus their curriculum toward a specific goal or to explore a variety of disciplines.
