Associate Program Associate of Arts

The Associate of Arts (AA) program provides a substantial liberal arts education as a base for upper division specialization. Most students who graduate from AASU with an AA degree eventually go on to pursue a baccalaureate degree.

Who majors in the AA?

• Students who wish to complete the core curriculum at AASU before transferring to another university to pursue a bachelor's degree
• Students who wish to complete the core curriculum before entering a professional degree program (such as nursing or teacher education) at AASU
• Students, especially non-traditional students, who attend AASU part-time and who value formal recognition of their achievements as they progress toward a baccalaureate degree

Program Requirements:

• General Requirements (Core Areas A, B, C, D, and E)
• 18 hours of electives (which must include COMM 2280: Speech Communication)
• 2 hours of Physical Education courses

Students planning work toward a baccalaureate degree should select courses for their electives that meet listed requirements (in most cases, Area F requirements) of that degree program.

The AA degree is also available through the Liberty Center in Hinesville, Georgia. For further information, please contact the Liberty Center by calling 912.877.1906
