The Associate of Arts Degree
An Associate of Arts Degree (A.A.) is awarded
when the student has completed the core of general studies and the necessary
number of elective studies required for the degree.
The student's choice of elective courses should be consistent with college
transfer plans and career objectives and chosen with the assistance of
an advisor.
WSCC's academic advising services help students make the best possible
choices for their individual needs. With West Shore's help, the A.A. Degree
can be personally tailored to fit the requirements of the four-year college
or university selected.
Thus, WSCC helps students gain a promising start on their college education
without paying premium tuition costs or moving away from their homes or
jobs.
