Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree
The Associate in Arts degree is a general, liberal education degree equivalent to the first two years of a bachelor’s degree. The A.A. degree incorporates 40 credits from Inver Hills courses that are part of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC). These courses and credits are approved for transfer to the Minnesota state universities (such as Winona State, St. Cloud State, and Metropolitan State), the University of Minnesota, and many private colleges. In addition, the A.A. includes 14 credits of electives or pre-major course work and 2 credits in health/physical education.
Inver Hills schedules web-based classes that meet all the requirements of the A.A., including courses that will meet each of the goal requirements of the 10 MnTC goal areas.
