Online Associate in Arts Degree

The Online Associate in Arts (AA) Degree provides the courses of study equivalent to those offered to freshman and sophomore level students attending any four-year college/university. If students receive the AA from DMACC, this degree, in most cases, will meet the lower division requirements of four-year colleges/universities and will admit them to the junior status level. The degree requirements consist of both their general education requirements and elective courses to be used in preparation for a major area of study.

The DMACC Advising and counseling staff can assist students with the transfer process.

AA Degree Requirements:

• Maintain a 2.0 grade point average on all work applicable to the AA Degree
• Earn a minimum of 1/3 of the semester credit hours applicable to the degree being pursued at DMACC
