Associate in Arts
Certificates
Through the College of the Air (COA) AA program, students can earn seven liberal arts certificates, leading up to a full 2-year Associate in
Arts degree. As each student progresses through the courses, a
certificate is earned after the listed courses are successfully completed. Successfully completed requires a grade of C or above. At 12 credits a year, it
would take about 5 ½ years to earn the
Associates degree through the COA program.
The following courses comprise the
Associates in Arts Degree. Upon meeting the requirements of each
“Certificate”, students will receive an official college
“Certificate of Completion”. Upon completion of all
courses, students will be awarded an Associate in Arts
Degree. All courses offered in this degree program are
“University Level” and are “College Transferable” except for
MATH 113 and GENCOL 104. These two courses are not necessarily required for the AA degree.
To simplfy the tracking of certificates each student may want to keep a Student Academic Plan.
