While the College does not offer the Associate in Arts degree in any "major," with proper planning of course work students can complete the degree and many prerequisite courses necessary for admission to a variety of degree programs within the state university system. Each possible transfer major has a distinct listing of common prerequisite courses. To ensure accuracy in selecting courses, students should refer to the Common Prerequisites Manual available online at FACTS.org under the "advising manuals" tab.
