FW: General Associate's Degree

Dena,

 

I’ve never started the list serve for MACRAO before but would like to send out the email below to the members of MACRAO to get their feedback on what we are purposing.  Can you help me get this out?

 

Thanks so much,

There has been some preliminary discussion at FVCC about offering just one general Associate’s Degree, rather than both the Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees that we currently offer.  We would like some initial feedback about whether or not transfer students would be at any disadvantage by holding a general associate degree versus an AA or AS.

 

The benefits to offering just one Associate’s Degree include simplifying graduation requirements, streamlining the General Education curriculum, providing more flexibility in students’ schedules, and facilitating graduation in some programs.  Would you please help us identify any disadvantages that might exist for students if we offered just one general Associate’s Degree?

 

Thank you!
