The Associate of Arts degree is intended for transfer to a four-year baccalaureate granting institution.  Those wishing to transfer to a baccalaureate granting institution and pursue a degree program in Liberal Arts are strongly encouraged to check with their advisor and carefully coordinate their coursework at San Juan College with the requirements of the transfer institution.  In general, however, it is suggested that students complete the New Mexico Transfer Module as outlined below.

Note:  A grade of C or better is required.

General Education Requirements: 31 credits


Gen Ed - Mathematics: 3 credits
