Associate in Arts (University Transfer)
Curriculum
The Associate in Arts is a fully transferable general-education degree designed for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree at a four-year college or university. Built on a broad foundation in English, mathematics, the social sciences, and the humanities, the program develops the reading, writing, and analytical skills that transfer seamlessly into virtually any bachelor's degree program.
Students choose from carefully selected elective courses in literature, history, art, and the social sciences to explore areas of interest while satisfying the general-education requirements most four-year institutions expect. Academic advising supports students in mapping a two-year plan that transfers as a complete block of credit rather than a scattered list of courses.
Graduates leave prepared to enter their junior year at a four-year institution with a strong academic foundation, having saved significantly on the cost of the first two years of a bachelor's degree.
