The Associate of Arts degree is designed to give you a traditional liberal arts education that will transfer to a four year college or university. The AA provides a solid foundation of study in the areas of arts and humanities, communication, or social sciences. Spend two years at PPCC, earning your Associate of Arts, and we’ll send you off with half the credits you’ll need for a Bachelor of Arts, Guaranteed. If you sign up for the 60+60 Bachelor’s Degree Transfer Program, we guarantee that the credits you’ve earned at PPCC will automatically be accepted by any four-year, public institution of higher learning in the state – providing, of course, you follow a few simple rules. For instance, you have to maintain at least a “C” in each of your 60+60 courses. And only approved 60+60 courses apply. But other than that, there’s hardly anything difficult about it. If you think you might want to move on to a state college or university after completing your two years at PPCC, ask one of our advisors about the 60+60 program.
