CREDIT HOUR PROGRAMS are both theoretical and application in nature. Degrees take
approximately two years to complete (based on full-time status); while certificates take less than
two years to complete.
Associate in Arts Degree (AA) is designed for students planning to transfer to four-year colleges
and universities. In general, the components of the degree meet requirements for majors in the
Liberal Arts or programs of study other than business or science.
Certificate of Completion (CCL) is a program of study that is recommended for students who wish
to gain technical expertise in an occupational program that requires less time and credit hours to
complete than an AAS degree. Some CCLs are also included in the AAS degree program of study.
Note: it is strongly recommended that students meet with an academic advisor to determine the
correct coursework to take based on intended major and transfer institution of choice.
