Letters, Arts and Sciences - Pennsylvania State University

Letters, Arts and Sciences from Pennsylvania State University is a Online Associate Liberal Arts and Science degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The 2LAS is a liberal arts/general studies associate degree program that can give you a solid educational base. Among the areas studied are writing/speaking skills, the arts , the humanities , social and behavioral sciences, natural sciences, and quantification. In addition, you may use the elective requirements for the degree to focus on a particular area of interest, such as business, history, or math. To earn the 2LAS, you must complete 60 credits (or approximately twenty courses) as specified by the degree program checklist. The 2LAS can also be a first step for those who plan to later seek admission to Penn State's Baccalaureate Degree Program in Letters, Arts, and Sciences or to LionHawk. If 2LAS courses are chosen with this in mind, they can fulfill requirements for the first half of a baccalaureate program, depending on the area of study you pursue. Although it is available to anyone with a high school diploma or the equivalent, the 2LAS degree program is designed primarily for the adult, nontraditional student. Distance education courses can work for you whether you're pursuing the 2LAS through our degree program or through another Penn State campus or location.
