Scenarios for Associate in Arts/Associate in Science, Emphasis in Elementary Education

The Associate in Arts (AA) and Associate in Science (AS) Degrees are designed as flexible degree plans that allow a student to take the classes needed for a variety of academic majors at a four-year institution of higher learning. The AS is usually used for various science, math and engineering majors, and the AA usually best fits all of the other transfer majors. The choice of which class a student should take in a specific degree requirement category (like math, science, social science, etc.) is determined by the student's major and the transfer college. As an example, a student majoring in business at New Mexico State University takes similar but not identical general education classes as the student planning to transfer to Texas Tech University and to major in business.
