Overview

The Associate of Arts degree curriculum is designed for students who wish to transfer into a baccalaureate degree program with junior standing in the arts, humanities, social or behavioral sciences, or one of the professional fields with such disciplines as its base.

State Guaranteed Transfer courses and the new Colorado Community College General Education requirements have been incorporated into the degree. Completion of the degree with a grade of "C" or better in every course guarantees that the student can transfer to any Colorado public 4-year institution AND complete specified liberal arts or science baccalaureate degree in an additional 60 credits.
