Associate of Arts

Associate of Arts (A.A.)

The Associate of Arts (AA) degree is awarded to qualified students who are pursuing baccalaureate degrees at the University. The AA is not intended to be a terminal degree, but rather a symbol of accomplishment and recognition of achievement toward the bachelor's degree. Students wishing to receive an AA degree must apply for graduation clearance in the Registrar's Office when they are within four or five courses of degree completion. Upon successful completion of the last required course, students request the AA certificate by calling the Registrar's Office.
