AA Degree: Science Emphasis
The Associate of Arts in Colorado Plateau Studies degree is designed for transfer to all Arizona public universities. This is an inter-disciplinary degree that includes courses from the Arts, Humanities, and Sciences in its core. The degree is not only inter-disciplinary in its curriculum but may also be adapted to give students an emphasis in one of three academic areas: Arts and Culture, Science, and Business. The emphasis in Arts and Culture meets the requirements for the AGEC-A; the emphasis in Science meets the AGEC-S; and the emphasis in Business can lead to the two year AAS degree. Students interested in meeting the requirements for one of the emphasis areas should see their advisor for details. Students completing this degree will transfer 60-64 credits to all Arizona public universities.
