Registered Degree and Certificate Programs
The Associate of Arts (AA) and the Associate of Science (AS) degree programs enable students to prepare for transfer and the eventual completion of a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree programs are designed to prepare students for immediate entry into a career.
- For the AA degree, students devote at least three-quarters of their course work to the liberal arts and sciences
- For the AS degree, students devote at least one-half of their course work to the liberal arts and sciences
- For the AAS degree, students devote at least one-third of their course work to the liberal arts and sciences
