ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE WITH AN EMPHASIS IN HUMANITIES
Available at Brookhaven, Cedar Valley, Eastfield, Mountain View, North Lake and Richland Colleges

Degree Code: AA.HUMANITIES

This is an "Emphasis" degree. Students should read and understand the paragraphs below.

This degree plan is designed to meet the needs of students who plan to transfer to a four-year college/university with a major in Humanities. Students planning to continue their Humanities studies as transfer students should check specific requirements at the transfer institution. This is a general plan and it may not satisfy all the requirements of a specific transfer institution.

In order to be eligible to receive this AA degree, a student must:

  1. Complete a minimum of 63 credit hours including all the required courses listed;
  2. Earn a grade of "C" or better in English 1301, either Speech 1311 or 1315, and the selected college-level mathematics course;
  3. Receive a GPA (2) of at least 2.00 ("C");
  4. Meet all Texas Success Initiative (TSI) standards and course prerequisites; and
  5. Complete at least 25% of the credit hours required for graduation through instruction by the college awarding the degree.

This degree may be taken through a combination of on-campus and distance education offerings, or if planned correctly, the degree may be completed entirely through distance education. Receiving institutions are not required to accept a grade below "C" in transfer.

Students who plan to transfer must work closely with an advisor/counselor.
