20 community colleges in Pennsylvania report awarding credentials in Liberal Arts & Humanities. Broad transfer-oriented general education preparing students for a four-year degree. The list below ranks them by share of total credentials awarded in this field — a directional measure of program scale and focus.

If you are choosing a Liberal Arts & Humanities program in Pennsylvania, weigh program-specific accreditation, clinical or apprenticeship placement, and the institution's articulation agreements with Pennsylvania public universities (for transfer-bound students) or its local employer relationships (for occupational tracks). Within Pennsylvania published tuition tends to fall in a tight range, so the program-quality questions usually matter more than cost. The ranked list below is a useful starting point but should not substitute for a campus visit and a conversation with the program advisor.
