Institutional Alignment

The Associate of Arts in Philosophy is in alignment with Cerritos College’s five institutional goals and competencies: independent learner, global awareness, civic responsibility, critical thinking, and personal responsibility.

Also as is indicated in the institutional “Education Philosophy,” this degree will help preparing individuals for full participation in a complex democratic society as citizens and leaders, for the fulfillment of personal needs, and for the future.

We believe that the purpose of education is to cultivate critical thinking skills and enhance the quality of life.
