Academics

Central Arizona College offers a variety of one- and two-year programs to meet the diverse interests and goals of our students, including degrees and certificates in many fields of study.  Central Arizona College offers four associates degrees - Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Science (A.S.), Associate of Business (A.Bus.), and Associate of Arts in Elementary Education (A.A.E.E.) that are appropriate for transfer to all in state public universities.

These Associate Degrees are 60-64 semester credits and have four basic "blocks" upon which they are built.  These blocks include the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC), Common Courses, Special Requirements, and Electives, in addition to specific Central Arizona College degree requirements.  The associate degrees will transfer to Arizona's public universities.  If you complete the degree, you will be guaranteed admission to the university with junior status.  Completion of an associate degree does not necessarily guarantee admission to a particular program of study.

Students who have not yet decided on an academic program should meet with an academic advisor for assitance in exploring career and life goals.
