General Studies: Art, Associate in Arts
Courses and Requirements
The Associate in Arts: General Studies: Art degree is designed to provide students who have an interest in the arts with a focus on a specific area of the arts, as well as allow more flexibility to those who would like to explore and experience the breadth of the arts. This degree will also prepare those who wish to continue their educational goals, by pursuing an appropriate Bachelor degree, with the foundation needed to be successful. A minimum of 67 credits is required to graduate with the Associate in Arts degree.
Starting in the Fall of 2014, any student enrolled in an associate degree program who is new to NECC and has no academic history at the college, must take at least one course designated as intensive in each of NECC’s six core academic skills in order to graduate. In most cases, the program’s core required courses include these intensive courses. Plan to see an advisor for more complete information about this graduation requirement.
