Associate of Arts

Associate of Arts

The Associate of Arts degree will be awarded to students who successfuly complete a program of collegiate level work that is fully transferable toward a baccalaureate degree. The Associate of Arts degree is designed for transfer purposes and the field of study is not specified in the degree title. The Associate of Arts degree meets the requirements of the 60-hour state minimum core curriculum required under Act 747 of 2011. Remedial/developmental education courses must be used for placement purposes only and cannot be used to fulfill degree requirements.

All pre-requisite and required courses for the bachelor’s degree program major must be completed by AA degree graduates. Thus, AA degree graduates may be required to complete additional lower-division courses to meet requirements for bachelor degree programs upon transfer to any Arkansas public university which may require the AA graduate to complete credit horus beyond the stated minimum credits for bachelor’s degrees.
