The Liberal Arts Associate of Arts (AA) degree is specifically for those students planning to transfer to a senior college/university. Emphasis is placed on General Education courses required by most senior institutions. The degree also allows students to gain knowledge while deciding on a major, and enables them to develop self-fulfillment or knowledge for employment in the workplace. Students planning to transfer to another institution should discuss their plans with a BRCC advisor and with an advisor at the receiving institution to assure that credits earned at BRCC will transfer.

To receive this degree, the student must:

  • have a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better in all credits to be used towards the degree,
  • earn a “C” or better in major courses, in ENGL 101 and ENGL 102, and in courses that are prerequisites for other courses;
  • take at least 12 hours at the 200 level; and
  • complete the coursework listed below.
