College Transfer
All courses in the degree programs are designed to give students a solid, well-rounded foundation in the arts and the sciences before going on to four-year institutions where they will take the remainder of their coursework to complete their bachelor’s degree. The Associate in Arts (AA) degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in one of the liberal arts disciplines or training at a professional school that requires a strong liberal arts background. The Associate in Science (AS) degree is designed for students who want to pursue a four-year degree in areas of study such as computer science, engineering, mathematics, and the sciences or professionals programs that require strong mathematics and science backgrounds.
At the end of each student's course of study, he or she will be required to complete a Capstone Project as part of the HUM-220 course. This project-based course is designed to help students make connections between different disciplines and will give them the opportunity to demonstrate the progress they have made on their personal academic journeys.
Associate in Arts Degree (A10100)
The Associate in Arts degree shall be granted for a planned program of study consisting of a minimum of 60 semester hours of credit (SHC) of college transfer courses. Within the degree program, the institution shall include opportunities for the achievement of competence in reading, writing, oral communication, fundamental mathematical skills, and basic computer use.
