AACC and St. John's College to forge partnership thanks to grant from NEH

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded a $100,000 grant to Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) and St. John’s College. The prestigious award will fund a partnership between the two schools for “Bridge to the Liberal Arts through Primary Source Texts (BLAST),” which will incorporate the study of primary sources into community college courses and establish transfer pathways for students.

Through BLAST, the two colleges will partner to incorporate a Great Books curriculum in chosen English, philosophy and history courses at AACC. All readings will relate to equity, inclusivity and diversity.
