Associate of Arts (General)

IN ORDER TO Be awarded the Associate of Arts degree at Brazosport College, a student must successfully complete a minimum of 60 semester hours including:

• All of the general graduation requirements that are listed under Graduation Requirements , of this catalog
• General Education Core  
• 2 semester hours of science labs corresponding to Core science course selections 
• At least 16 semester hours of academic electives

The Associate of Arts degree (AA) is a general education degree with an emphasis on the core academic requirements. The degree does not allow enough hours of concentration in a single discipline for students to declare a major; however, a series of suggested courses of study are listed so that students planning to transfer into four-year academic programs at other Texas institutions may receive the maximum number of transfer credit hours toward a planned baccalaureate major. Students are advised to check with Brazosport College counselors and faculty and with their transfer institution for additional counseling in choosing appropriate electives.
