Associates in Arts Degree

The Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree is a two-year direct transfer liberal arts degree consisting of at least 60 semester credits at the 100 and 200 levels.

To earn an Associate in Arts (A.A.) Degree, Windward Community College students must complete 60 credits in courses numbered 100 or above with a grade-point average of at least 2.0. Students who are awarded an Associate in Arts degree from a UH Community College must have a Community College cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher for all course work taken in fulfillment of A.A. degree requirements.

At least 12 of the credits for the A.A. degree must be earned at Windward Community College. No more than 12 credits in any combination of independent study or cooperative education may apply to the degree requirements.

Credits must be earned in the required areas. Italicized courses are infrequently offered.
