In the academic world, Arts refer mainly to the disciplines of Humanities (Art History, English Literature, History, and Languages), and Social Sciences (Economics, Psychology and Sociology).*
In the first year of Bermuda College’s Associate in Arts programme, students are given the opportunity to explore courses in the Arts disciplines, as well as the Science disciplines of mathematics and the natural sciences. In the programme’s second year, students choose a subject of concentration from among the Arts disciplines.
The Associate in Arts provides the foundation for careers in teaching, psychology, law, and writing, just to name a few. Students choosing this option will be able to transfer to universities abroad to further their studies in the Arts.
* Fine Art is also included in the Arts, but at Bermuda College an entire programme, the Associate in Art and Design, is dedicated to the Visual Arts. Note that Art History falls in the discipline of Humanities.
