An Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts degree provides students a broad range of courses that can be transferred to degree programs at a four-year college or university. This degree provides students with exposure to many different subjects and perspectives. It requires 64 college-level credit hours, with 31 hours of general education requirements and 33 hours of electives. Many students choose to earn an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts degree prior to transferring to a four-year college or university. (See sample degree program below.)

Important: Students graduating with an associate of arts degree must complete an approved cultural diversity course. Some of the approved courses are able to meet both the cultural diversity requirement and a general education requirement.
