Associate in Arts

This pre-baccalaureate degree is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor’s degree. It is selected by students planning to pursue a career in such fields as the arts, business, creative writing, criminal justice, economics, education, history, interdisciplinary humanities, literature, philosophy, political science, psychology, social work, speech communication and world languages.

Bachelor of Arts degrees in subject areas vary from one college or university to another. Prior to beginning a curriculum, students should contact the transfer institutions that interest them and a Jackson College student success navigator to create a pathway map toward their degree.

NOTE: Only courses with a 2.0 or better transfer to most four-year colleges and universities. To complete the Michigan Transfer Agreement, students must plan their courses carefully. Completion of the Associate in Arts degree does NOT guarantee the Michigan Transfer Agreement designation.
