Associate in Arts Degree Program Overview
The University of Delaware, in
cooperation with Delaware Technical & Community College (DTCC),
offers
qualified applicants the opportunity to pursue a University of Delaware
Associate
in Arts (AA) degree by taking UD
courses at the UD Academic Centers on the campuses of Delaware
Technical & Community College in Wilmington, Dover, and Georgetown.
The University provides
advisement and academic support services for Associate Degree Program
students at all
sites at which instruction is provided. The Associate Degree Program is
a
nonresidential program; campus housing is not provided.
The Associate Degree Program
is
designed specifically to increase the higher educational opportunities
of
resident Delawareans. Tuition for
eligible students entering the Associate
in Arts Program may be covered by the State
of Delaware SEED (Student
Excellence Equals Degree) scholarship program . The SEED program
provides tuition
for qualifying full-time students enrolled in either the UD Associate in Arts program as well
as the associate
degree programs at Delaware Technical & Community College.
More information about SEED scholarships is available on the UD SEED website, on our Frequently
Asked Questions webpage, and on the State of Delaware SEED
Scholarships website.
An Associate in Arts degree
can
be a valuable intermediate goal, leading to the timely completion
of a four-year baccalaureate degree. Earning the Associate in Arts
degree
represents confirmation that the student has completed approximately
half
of a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree program at the University of Delaware
and
guarantees eligibility to continue study for a University of Delaware
BA
degree in many of the traditional liberal arts majors.
