Associate of Arts (A.A.) Degree

Social Science A.A. Degree (PDF) - Allows students to explore a number of career possibilities. The general emphasis prepares students to be enlightened citizens equipped with the broad cultural background in anthropology, economics, geography, history, psychology, sociology, etc. Employment prospects are generally strong after graduation; often employers prefer to hire people with the education in the right skills (critical thinking, writing, and analysis) rather than the right subjects. Social science degrees are also an excellent choice for students who want to pursue a higher degree, as universities often prefer candidates with a proven ability to learn and succeed. A social science education offers much more than career-specific training, because it teaches students to understand problems, develop solutions, and lead a balanced and well-rounded life.
