About the Program
This degree is intended to provide an interdisciplinary foundation in the arts and humanities for students who are interested in transfer to a university in a related major. These courses provide an introduction to a variety of possible paths of study such as English, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, History, Philosophy, and World Languages. This program may also be appropriate for students pursuing a transfer major not available at Butte College so that they can obtain a degree while fulfilling lower-division requirements for their transfer destination. These major courses may also count toward satisfying university transfer general education requirements. Students are strongly advised to see a counselor to discuss specific choices for their degree and career path.

This course teaches culture and facilitates language acquisition through listening, speaking, reading and writing. Content is expanded beyond "survival" needs of the immediate environment in order to express personal meaning and to apply different strategies and techniques to go beyond casual conversation and express opinions, make suggestions on familiar topics, as well as some abstract issues and plans. Students demonstrate an increased awareness of cultural norms, values, and culturally relevant appropriate customs and events. Accuracy becomes quite high for high frequency structures and vocabulary but more complex discourse is still developing and requires a somewhat sympathetic listener or reader. Students will demonstrate the ability to think critically by analyzing linguistic structures and reflecting on and making cross-cultural comparisons. This course will primarily be taught in Spanish. Students who have completed at least two, but fewer than three years of high school Spanish (or equivalent) with a letter grade of "A" or "B" within one year of the present date, should register for Fourth Semester Spanish. (C-ID SPAN 200).
