The Associate of Arts (AA) is an undergraduate degree program designed for students who want a rigorous and diverse general curriculum. Students will take courses in a broad range of disciplines, studying the Humanities, Social Sciences, Math, Natural Sciences, Language, Culture, and Fine Arts. Students can customize their academic plan with electives catered to their professional and personal interests. This post-secondary academic credential positions students for career advancement, and may be a first step towards earning a Bachelor's degree. An Associate's degree is also an appropriate pursuit for students who may be undecided on a major and still exploring their interests and career options.
The AA degree requires students to complete a minimum of 60 credits, 30 of which must be taken at Villanova University. Up to 30 credits can be transferred from an accredited institution at the time of admission.
The degree can be completed in-person on Villanova's campus, online, or as a hybrid program.
