A Liberal Studies Associate of Arts Degree is appropriate if you plan to continue your education at a college or university and major in Liberal Arts. If you have not yet decided on a major but know you want to transfer to a four-year college or a university, this degree will fulfill the general education requirement for many different programs of study. Liberal Studies Faculty Advisors are available to assist you in the selection of courses.  Since program requirements differ between universities, the official transfer guide of the school which you plan to attend upon leaving EAC should be consulted in order to adjust this program to your personal needs. Web addresses for the transfer guides of Arizona’s three public universities are included below.
