General Academic Plan - Associate’s Degree

General Academic Plan (A.A.) degree

The A.A. degree in liberal studies consists of liberal education requirements and elective/concentration courses. The elective/concentration courses should be chosen from courses that will be applied toward the student’s future bachelor’s degree major or from an academic field that interests the student. Students may not transfer into the A.A. program with more than 45 semester hours of credit. The A.A. degree is available to Undergraduate School students and students dual-enrolled with The Early College Academy.

General graduation requirements:

Students must:

1. Earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0
2. Satisfy a 15 hour residency requirement with Brenau. Experiential, challenge and CLEP credit do not count toward the residency requirement.
3. Accumulate a minimum of 60 hours of academic credit (63 hours if the student took three hours of developmental coursework or 66 hours with six hours of developmental coursework). Students and advisers can track cumulative hours by reviewing the student’s transcript via CampusWEB.

 Note: The Liberal Education  section lists the individual courses that will satisfy the A.A. degree requirements.

** As noted above, the number of developmental courses taken at Brenau will affect the number of hours the student must have to meet minimum cumulative hour graduation requirements.
