To continue the 每日大赛网站 commitment to provide programs that support the community, the Associate of Arts degree program in General Education serves to recognize academic achievement and establish a milestone in a student’s learning trajectory—whether as the first half of a bachelor’s degree or as a standalone two-year degree.
The Associate of Arts degree
- Validates the hard work and dedication of 每日大赛网站 students.
- Provides a strong foundation in the core competencies of the 每日大赛网站 Core, including Critical Inquiry, Effective Communication, Responsible Living, and Diversity.
- Is fully transferable to other Arkansas institutions of higher education, and, thus, provides credit hours that may be applied toward a baccalaureate degree at 每日大赛网站 or at another institution of higher education.
