The Associate of Arts (AA) 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.

Students interested in meeting the requirements for one of the emphasis areas should see their advisor for details. Students completing this degree will transfer
