Associate in Arts Degree
The Associate in Arts degree is primarily designed as the equivalent of the first half of a Baccalaureate degree in non-science areas. The Associate in Arts degree has much flexibility and may be tailored to both the subject and the specific four-year college or university which you plan to attend.
Multiple Associate Degrees
If you intend to simultaneously complete the requirements for two different degrees, plan on completing 77 semester hours and meeting all requirements. In all other circumstances, a candidate for a second Associate degree needs to earn at least 15 additional credits in residence after completing all requirements for the first Associate degree and, in addition, meet all the requirements for the second Associate degree as well as all the requirements for any related, declared program.
