Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Majors and Certificates

The Associate of Arts degree prepares a student for transfer to a four-year college or university. Students take required courses in the areas of English, communications, mathematics, natural sciences, arts and humanities, and social and behavioral sciences consistent with the College’s general education requirements and the Ohio Transfer 36. In addition, students work with their advisor to select elective courses to complete the degree requirement. Upon completion of 60 credit hours, the student will be awarded an Associate of Arts degree. The Associate of Arts degree fulfills the general education requirements (typically the first two years) of a four-year bachelor’s degree program.
