Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

60 Hrs required.

The primary learning outcome of the A.A. and A.S. is to prepare students to be successful in a four-year degree program. These degrees encompass a liberal arts and sciences core. The curriculum does not focus on particular vocational skills; instead, the aim is to give students a breadth of knowledge, basic analysis, and communication skills necessary to succeed in a variety of situations. The curricula also provide increased knowledge of self and the world from three basic perspectives or domains: Arts & Humanities, Social & Behavioral Science, and Natural Science. Faculty have identified primary learning outcomes associated with each domain. Remedial/developmental (zero level) courses must be used for placement purposes only and can’t be used to fulfill any degree or certificate requirement. For institutional policy, refer to NWACC General Degree and Other Certificate Requirements Policy (3003).
