ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS

Cottey College offers three Associate Degrees:

Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Arts-Music (A.A.M.)

Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) with emphasis in Art, Dance, or Theatre Associate in Science (A.S.).

Associate Degree Programs are focused on the first two years of a liberal arts education and are designed to prepare students to continue to the baccalaureate level and beyond. After two years of concentrated study and work with dedicated faculty, Cot- tey associate degree graduates may transfer to institutions across the country or remain at Cottey to complete a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in one of eight majors.

While Cottey Associate Degree students commence their undergraduate careers at Cottey, they and the entire Cottey commu- nity proceed with the expectation that Associate Degree seeking students will accomplish their ultimate undergraduate goals at Cottey or at other baccalaureate institutions. A Cottey education includes the development of student abilities and identification of strengths, values, goals, and areas of interest. Students who opt to transfer to another college may receive assistance in the selection of transfer institutions. Each year approximately 95 percent of Cottey graduates continue their education by remain- ing at Cottey or transferring to a wide variety of institutions. Regardless of their choice, Cottey Associate Degree graduates report that they are extremely well prepared to declare a major and to excel academically.

ASSOCIATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

To receive an Associates degree, students must do the following:

(1) Fulfill the graduation requirements as set forth in the catalog which is in effect when the student enters the College.
