ASSOCIATE OF ARTS DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
60 COLLEGE CREDITS ACADEMIC ADVISING FROM CWI BEFORE END OF PROGRAM DECLARATION OF INTENT TO GRADUATE AT CWI DURING THE SPRING OF YEAR OF GRADUATION As an AA degree program student at Vision, you will receive academic advising for both high school and college graduation. You will also receive priority seating in classes at Vision that fulfill your AA degree program requirements. Students interested in other AA degrees or the AS degree are encouraged to speak to Ms. Dowski. This program is structured for students who at the time of their high school graduation are committed to a particular field of study. The AA degree will fulfill many of the general education requirements of bachelor's degrees; however, depending upon the college chosen, VCS nor CWI can guarantee transferability of college credits earned. CWI'S ADVISING SHEET FOR LIBERAL ARTS AA DEGREE (2017-present) Example of an AA degree plan of study (2017-present) @ VCS ILLUSTRATED EXAMPLE OF POSSIBLE COURSE OF STUDY *While other Associate degrees are offered by CWI such as Associate of Arts in Engineering, Business, and so forth; Associate of Science in Biology, Geology, Nursing, and so forth; and Associate of Applied Science, these degrees require more in-depth study located at the CWI campus and guarantee of fulfilling requirements while in high school can not be made by VCS or CWI. Please speak with Ms. Dowski, counselor, if you are interested in these programs to see if the AA degree program would be right for you.
