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 a minimum of 60 college-level credit hours, with 30 hours of general education requirements and a minimum of 30 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. A list of approved cultural diversity courses can be found in the list of AA general education electives.
