Associate of Arts Degree

Code: (F _AA _AA)

This is a transfer degree designed for students who plan to major in subject areas such as: anthropology, art, criminal justice, economics, English, ethnic studies, foreign language, geography, history, humanities, journalism, literature, music, philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology, social work, speech, theatre and women's studies.

The community colleges in Colorado are approved to offer one general Associate of Arts Degree with a generic major of liberal arts as well as specialized Associates of Arts Degrees in three areas of emphasis: Business, Early Childhood Education, and Elementary Education.  While a student may tailor the generic Associate of Arts Degree to prepare for specific transfer options, all official documents and diplomas issued by the college will only indicate the awarding of an Associate of Arts Degree without any indication of an area of concentration unless the student completes the requirements for one of the areas of emphasis noted above.
