UMUC Associate of Arts Degrees
UMUC Europe offers programs of study leading to UMUC associate degrees and bachelor’s degrees. Students should consult with UMUC field representatives at their local education center about programs offered in their community. All requirements noted for the AA degree involve lower-level courses, although appropriate upper-level courses may be substituted.
Common Associate Degree Requirements
- The Associate of Arts degree (AA) requires the completion of a minimum of 60 credits, at least 15 of which must be taken through UMUC.
- Of these 60 credits, 32 credits must be earned in courses that fulfill the AA general education requirements.
- The remaining 28 credits must satisfy the requirements of the curriculum the student has selected.
- A grade point average of 2.0 or higher in all courses taken through UMUC is required. Students must earn a grade of C or higher in all core or core-related curriculum courses.
- A student should complete one associate degree before applying for another one.
Path to Degree Completion-Associate’s Degree
To assist students in both course selection and degree completion, all degree requirements are listed for each curriculum—courses in the student’s chosen field of study and courses to fulfill general education requirements. For example, the presentation of the associate’s degree in mathematics includes
- required mathematics (and mathematics-related) courses
- recommended course choices for the general education requirements in:
- Communications
- Arts and Humanities
- Behavioral and Social Sciences
- Biological and Physical Sciences
- Mathematics
- the required computing course-IFSM 201
- the required course for library research-LIBS 150
Further, the sequencing (sometimes required, sometimes recommended) of courses is presented.
With all degree requirements presented in this way, students can see clearly how to proceed toward degree completion.
