Associate Degrees (AA/AS)
Associate Degrees
The Associate in Arts and Associate in
Science degrees can give you a good start before transferring
to a four-year
college/university. These academic degrees provide a
solid foundation through a traditional liberal arts education
and are designed specifically for those students who
plan
to transfer to a Texas four-year institution. Both of
these degrees include the core curriculum. Studies include
the
humanities, social sciences, communication, mathematics,
and science. If you have selected a major, you can include
major courses into these degrees or you may concentrate
in a major area of study after you transfer during your
junior and senior years.

Field Of Study Degrees
The courses listed in the Coordinating Board approved field
of study curriculum and the courses in the general education
core curricula, are listed to facilitate the free transferability
of lower-division academic courses among Texas
public colleges and universities.
All public four-year institutions are required
to accept Coordinating Board-approved field of study courses
to fulfill
lower-division requirements for bachelor’s degrees
in majors that correspond to the field of study. Receiving
colleges and universities may not require incoming transfer
students to repeat courses with the same content as field
of study courses to satisfy requirements for the academic
major.
Here are the current Coordinating Board approved fields
of study curricula available at Blinn College:
Criminal Justice, Education, and Music
Core Curriculum
Every Texas public college/university is required to have
a core curriculum of no less than 42 credit hours. If you
successfully complete the 42-hour core curriculum at Blinn
College, the entire 42-semester credit hour package will
transfer as core requirements to any other public college
or university in Texas.

You may be entering college with a clear idea of
what major you will choose and which senior institution
you plan to
attend or you may not know where you
will transfer or in which discipline you will major.
If you are undecided about a major, you are encouraged to
take courses in the Core Curriculum as these should transfer
to all Texas public universities. During the first semester,
you should investigate your interests. By the second or third
semester, you should begin to develop a clear sense of which
senior institution you will attend and the requirements for
your chosen degree program. Using current information from
four-year institutions, you should follow the Associate
in Arts or Associate in Science Degree plan because they incorporate
the core curriculum.
Make an appointment for Career Counseling to help you investigate
all of the career options available to you. Use DISCOVER,
an online career search program for additional help in your
career exploration.
