University Transfer Degrees
Associate of Arts
The Associate of Arts(AA) degree is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university for a baccalaureate
degree. Students planning to transfer prior to completing a transfer degree should refer to the catalog of the transfer institution or
applicable transfer agreement.
Students may choose from the following options:
• A general course of study (Associate of Arts-General) that uses any approved university transfer course to fulfill the general elective
course credits. Students are encouraged to follow a recommended course sequence designed to facilitate a smooth transfer into a major
at a four-year college or university. Please consult the appropriate page(s) in this catalog for degree requirements.
• A specific course of study (such as an Associate of Arts in Fine Arts) that may have specific general education and/or additional degree
requirements. Please consult the appropriate page(s) in this catalog for degree requirements.
• An emphasis of at least 15 credits in a specific course of study (such as an Associate of Arts-English Emphasis) that prepares students for
a designated major at a four-year institution and/or employment within the chosen field. Please consult the appropriate page(s) in this
catalog for degree requirements.
Satisfactory completion of the degree guarantees fulfillment of lower-division general education requirements at UNR, UNLV or
NSC. Students who intend to transfer to other institutions should consult an advisor or follow the catalog of the transfer institution.
Courses with a ”C” or “D” designator or courses with a number less than 100 are not applicable toward the degree. Check TMCC
course descriptions for transfer status to a baccalaureate degree of arts within the universities in the Nevada System of Higher
Education (NSHE).
