Southeastern University
Associate of Arts
The Associate of Arts (AA) degree includes the core learning components and competencies commonly accepted as
foundational for a four-year baccalaureate degree by many colleges and universities. The AA degree is designed for
students who desire recognition for completing the two-year prescribed curriculum. Because many bachelor degrees require
specific prerequisites, students should verify how their AA degree and classes transfer into the intended degree. Graduates
with the Associate of Arts degree will be able to:
Demonstrate knowledge of the background, content, and themes of the biblical text
Demonstrate oral communication skills through research, topical development, and style-specific presentations of
focused material
Demonstrate the ability to interpret, analyze, and evaluate statements, arguements, and evidence in order to construct
well-supported, clearly articulated conclusions and positions
Demonstrate problem-solving skills in a broad range of significant mathematics
The Associate of Arts degree is only offered through the University’s extended education deliveries, including extension site
