Associate of Arts

The associate of arts degree program provides students with a broad academic education to prepare them for the workplace and for upper-level university study. The degree requirements for the associate of arts may be met through LCCC’s university transfer courses or by taking university transfer courses at other recognized colleges and/or universities. Since requirements at transfer institutions vary widely, students should consult the catalog of the transfer institution and plan their program with an advisor.

Select from the general education/Ohio Transfer 36:

  • English composition – Six ENGL (College Composition) credit hours. 
  • Social and behavioral sciences – Nine credit hours, representing two different disciplines.
  • Arts and humanities – Nine credit hours representing two different disciplines. 
  • Mathematics/statistics/logic and natural sciences – Three credit hours in mathematics or logic and six credit hours in science, of which one course must include a lab (lab courses identified with footnote1). 

Completion of the required number of credit hours represents 33 of the 36-40 credit hours in the general education/Ohio Transfer 36. To complete this requirement, a student must take another six to seven credit hours from the general education/Ohio Transfer 36 courses. Students must complete a minimum of 60 credit hours to complete the associate of arts degree. Therefore, a student may earn the associate of arts degree by completing the general education/transfer module requirements of 36-40 credit hours, SDEV 101, for one credit hour and additional elective credit hours selected from the general education/Ohio Transfer 36 courses or any other courses to complete a minimum of 60 credit hours. CMMC 177G, HSTR 252G, SOCY 256, SOCY 276G and WMST 210  can now be used as a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) OT36 elective. Choices within these ranges will require careful academic planning and advice. Students should seek assistance from an advisor before proceeding.

Associate of Arts students are also encouraged to work with their advisor to integrate industry-recognized credentials, short-term certificates, work-based learning, and applied experiences to maximize learning and skills building along with transfer preparation.
