Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees include specific coursework along with a core of general education courses in English, mathematics, science, social sciences and humanities. Many students enter the workforce with associate degrees. Others choose to work with a counselor to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree—either by using articulation agreements between CCAC and nearly 30 other universities or by using certain degrees designed as templates for specialized programs. Associate degrees require at least 60 college credits and take 15 to 24 months of full-time study to complete (longer for part-time students).

THE CCAC COURSE SCHEDULE IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT SELFSERVICE.CCAC/STUDENT/COURSES 2 PROGRAMS OF STUDY (continued) (UPDATE: MARCH 2020) Select the certificate or diploma program that supports your interests and educational plan. Certificate and diploma programs concentrate on specific skills, usually without general education coursework. Many students begin in one of these programs to move into the job market and then continue their studies in a degree program in the same field. A diploma is awarded for programs with fewer than 16 credits and can be completed in as little as one or two terms. A certificate normally requires from 16 to 48 credits. Most certificates are designed to be completed in one year of full-time study (longer for part-time students)—although some may require more credits and take more than one year—based on the program and industry requirements.
