Math and Science

Program Statement

The Liberal Arts and Sciences program provides a comprehensive and rigorous foundation for transfer to a Bachelor of Arts or Science degree in the liberal arts disciplines or to professional studies in education, law or medicine. This program values lifelong learning for the success of the individual as well as the community.   

Program Information

  • Academic and transfer advisors assist students in selecting courses to fulfill program requirements and general education requirements at senior institutions to ensure a smooth transfer. 
  • Lab science courses may also require a year of high school lab science or CHM 090 as a prerequisite. 
  • For students interested Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Environmental Science or Physics, it is recommended that they change to the Bristol program specifically designed to transfer into a bachelor’s degree in that discipline. 
  • Completing courses in the summer will reduce fall and spring semester course loads. 

After Bristol

Bristol participates in the statewide MassTransfer program and has developed many program-to-program transfer articulation agreements which guarantee admission and credit transfer. For a complete listing of eligible MassTransfer programs, current Bristol articulation agreements, and to complete an A2B Program Search, visit the Transfer Services website to review which credits will be transferred and applied to your degree.
