Building Arts Associate in Arts

Building Arts is offered as a two-year pre-professional Associate in Arts (AA) degree. It is not a prerequisite for a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) degree at ÄÚº­AV College but can be taken in conjunction with them. For students planning to complete degrees elsewhere, the AA degree can be a good guide for course selection and also a way to experience internships and build networks in the Building Arts field.

Core Requirements for Pre-Professional AA Degree

• 9 credits – Religion (including service and religion internships)
  Note: six credits must be in religious doctrine.
• 3 credits – Writing 101 and IL test
• 3 credits – One Quantitative Reasoning (QR) course
• 9 credits – Coverage: at least 3 credits in any three core disciplines beyond religion (moral, civil, aesthetic, history, science, social science, worldview, physical education)

Total 24 credits

The above requirements are embedded in the pre-professional AA program and are not in addition to the requirements of the pre-professional AA. QR course may overlap with any other requirement. Dance may count toward aesthetic requirement or physical education requirement, but not both. Pre-professional AA requires completion of 62 credits. Students may earn a pre-professional AA in the same year that they earn a baccalaureate.
