Program Description

A candidate for the Associate in Arts (AA-DTA) degree must complete 90 quarter credits in academic courses numbered 100 and above with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 and meet specific distribution requirements. Courses must be chosen from the following distribution areas: communication - 10 credits, quantitative/symbolic reasoning - 5 credits, humanities - 15 credits, social sciences - 15 credits, mathematics/science - 15 credits, health-related and physical education/recreational and leisure activities - 5 credits, and 25 credits in approved general electives. At least 5 credits must be W-designated (writing-intensive). At least 5 credits must be D-designated (global/diversity). PE activity courses are limited to a maximum of three credits for the entire degree. At least 30 credits must be earned in residence from Spokane Community College or Spokane Falls Community College with at least 15 credits earned at the college awarding the degree. It is highly recommended that students meet with a counselor or academic adviser at Spokane Community College or Spokane Falls Community College on a regular basis to be sure that requirements specified in this degree are met. Students should also seek academic advising at the four-year institution to which they plan to transfer early in their educational planning to learn about additional requirements and procedures for admission. Degree requirements may change; for current requirements students should consult a counselor or academic adviser. Prior college-level credits and grade points are transferred for calculating total credits and GPA.

Refer to the requirements worksheet for a list of courses that satisfy AA-DTA degree requirements.

Credits for a specific course may be used in only one distribution area requirement.

NOTICE: For transferring students, 75 of the 90 credit total must be fully transferable as defined by the Intercollege Relations Commission (ICRC) guidelines for the Direct Transfer Agreement to be honored by most four-year institutions in Washington. A maximum of 15 elective credits may be career and technical courses numbered 100 or above. Due to the specialized nature of many of the listed courses, students should consult with their counselor or academic adviser and the catalog of the four-year institution to which they plan to transfer for specific degree requirements.
