Associate of Arts and Associate of Science Degree Areas of Emphasis

A.A. and A.S. degree areas of emphasis suggest the courses that are most likely to transfer, but are not guaranteed. It is always best to contact your selected transfer university as early as possible.

Foreign language courses are an additional requirement for the A.A. and B.A. degrees at Tennessee Board of Regents’ Universities.

To maximize transferability, students should identify and consult with the university to which they intend to transfer as early as possible.

Additional course requirements: The Tennessee Board of Regents requires that students either demonstrate the appropriate skill levels in math, reading, and/or writing before enrolling in college-level courses or enroll in appropriate co-requisite experiences with college-level courses to develop competency in those skills while performing college-level work. ACT/SAT scores, COMPASS test scores, or other relevant information determine whether a student needs to enroll in co-requisite courses in math, reading, and/or writing (English).
