The Liberal Arts and Sciences curriculum is designed to provide the first two years of education for students planning to transfer to a four-year program leading to a bachelor's degree. Delhi's Liberal Arts program offers two degree options: the Associate in Arts (A.A.) or the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree.

Students completing this curriculum will have an educational background that prepares them for such professional careers as law, medicine, and education. Required courses, together with careful selection of electives, give students broadly applicable knowledge in English, mathematics, science, humanities, and the social sciences, as well as course concentration appropriate to individual needs.

Students should select the Humanities and Social Sciences or the General Studies A.A. program if they contemplate careers in teaching or other professions requiring a strong foundation in history, psychology, sociology, political science, government, economics, English and literature, philosophy, foreign languages, art, and music.

The Math and Science or the General Studies A.S. program is designed for students planning courses of study or careers related to mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, or other sciences.

All students must take at least one course from 7 of the 10 SUNY General Education subject areas (see the "General Education" section of the College Catalog for more detail). Students who plan to transfer to a SUNY four-year school are advised to take at least one course from all 10 subject areas.
