AA Degree
		This document includes the courses, credit amounts, knowledge-distribution areas, and a program planning worksheet for the Associate of Arts degree Degree Requirements

Outcomes: Upon completion of your AA Degree program, you should:

• Have college-level knowledge and skills in critical thinking, quantitative analysis, and written composition.
• Have college-level mastery of information literacy and technology literacy.
• Have effective skills for in-person and media-based interactions with individuals and within groups.
• Understand methods and modes of inquiry specific to traditional and contemporary areas of knowledge in the humanities and arts, natural and physical sciences, mathematics, and the social sciences.
• Understand the interdisciplinary nature of knowledge.
• Understand the United States as a multicultural society.
• Understand the global society and processes of globalization from mostly, but not exclusively, non-Western and indigenous perspectives.

The AA Advantage: Your AA degree will enable you to transfer to a public four-year college or university in Washington, including the UW at Tacoma and Bothell, as well as a number of private colleges and universities, such as Seattle University and City University. Despite what you may have heard about the University of Washington (Seattle) restricting transfer enrollments, at least 30% of new undergraduates enrolled at the UW (Seattle) in a given year will still come from Washington community colleges. Be sure to work with an advisor to help you prepare for transfer.

Advising: Completion of degree requirements and scheduling is your responsibility. Advisors are available to assist you in developing an education plan. Transferability of courses must be coordinated between you and the institution to which you plan to transfer. If you have questions, contact the Advising Center.
