Online Course Selection Advice

Below are online course options that will meet a core requirement for an Associate in Arts (AA) Degree at DMACC.  If you are planning to attend a college other than DMACC after high school graduation, you will want to discuss coursework with that future institution early in the process to maximize credit transferability. 

Courses below that are marked with an asterisk * also meet the criteria to transfer as a core course at all 3 Regent Universities (Iowa, ISU, and UNI).  If a course does not have an *, it could still transfer to a regent or other institution but wasn't identified at all 3 collectively.
