Associate of Arts Degree Program

The Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree program is a two-year academic degree (limited to 60 credits) designed to transfer to 4-year institutions. It generally equates to the first two years of a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree. Depending on their educational goals, students choose from:

1. An Associate of Arts without designation is designed to transfer into liberal arts programs and requires courses from specific requirement categories.
2. An Associate of Arts degree with a program designation (Degree with Designation or DwD) is for transfer into a specific Colorado four-year program aligned with a Statewide Articulation Agreement. See the list of Designations offered at MCC at the end of this section.

Students pursuing degrees with designation should consult with their MCC advisors regularly and follow the program layout for their designation and effective catalog with guidance from their intended Colorado public 4-year public transfer institution based on their intended transfer degree.
