Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts & Sciences

Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts & Sciences

The Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts & Sciences degree (AA) is intended primarily for students who plan to transfer to another college or university to complete a bachelor’s degree. The AA is a general education degree. While no specific major is attached to the degree, students can choose an emphasis within the degree. Through careful selection of courses, students may enhance preparation for a planned major at a four-year college or university. At least 40 of the 60 credits must be taken within the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC). Students are strongly encouraged to develop an educational plan with an Anoka-Ramsey academic advisor to assure that AA degree and pre-major requirements are fulfilled.
