Associate of Arts

Candidates for the Associate of Arts degree must complete a modified version of the Baccalaureate Experience and 16 additional credit hours from one of the following areas of concentration: biology, chemistry, economics, English, government and world affairs, geography, history, management information systems, mathematics, one of the modern languages, music, philosophy, psychology, sociology and writing.

The associate degree requires a minimum of 62 credit hours. Candidates must complete the Baccalaureate Experience, with the following exceptions: only one writing-intensive course (W) is required, and either one non-Western (NW) course or one international/global (IG) course. The balance of the 62 hours is to be earned in the area of concentration and through electives. Sixteen hours in residency at UT are required.

Biology courses numbered below 203, chemistry courses numbered below 150 and mathematics courses numbered below 260 may not count toward a concentration for the Associate of Arts degree.
