Liberal Arts Associate in Arts Degree

For more information about this program, please contact Nancy Marashio. 603-542-7744 x5423

The Associate in Arts Degree in Liberal Arts requires 64 credits of associate degree level coursework in not only a coherent and substantive balance of English, mathematics, the sciences, the arts and humanities, and the social sciences, but also a major consisting of a minimum of 32 credit in specialty courses. Requirements of the four-year college to which students plan to transfer will guide some of their selections; the future plans and areas of interest of each student will also contribute to each student's program design.

This program offers the equivalent of the first two years in a four-year baccalaureate program. (It is recommended that students identify the college to which they plan to transfer as soon as possible.) A faculty advisor works with each student to design the program that best meets the student's future plans.

Upon completion of the Liberal Arts program, the student should have an academic background sufficient to transfer into a baccalaureate degree program. The College has transfer agreements for Liberal Art students with Keene State College, New England College, Plymouth State University, and the University of New Hampshire. Liberal Arts graduates have also transferred to the University of Massachusetts, Franklin Pierce, Granite State College, the University of Maine, Lyndon State College, Yale University, Daniel Webster College, Colby Sawyer College, and Mount Holyoke College.
