Associate of Arts

The Associate of Arts (AA) degree includes the core learning components and competencies commonly accepted as foundational for a four-year baccalaureate degree by many colleges and universities. The AA degree is designed for students who desire recognition for completing the two-year prescribed curriculum. Because many bachelor degrees require specific prerequisites, students should verify how their AA degree and classes transfer into the intended degree. Graduates with the Associate of Arts degree will be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge of the background, content, and themes of the biblical text
• Demonstrate oral communication skills through research, topical development, and style-specific presentations of focused material
• Demonstrate the ability to interpret, analyze, and evaluate statements, arguements, and evidence in order to construct well-supported, clearly articulated conclusions and positions
• Demonstrate problem-solving skills in a broad range of significant mathematics

The Associate of Arts degree is only offered through the University’s extended education deliveries, including extension site and online learning programs, and is not available to traditional students. For each delivery, the University specifies courses for the electives indicated below.
