About our Program

The University Studies Associate of Arts degree program is a two-year transfer degree designed to be aligned with freshman and sophomore courses at four-year colleges and universities. Courses that fulfill degree requirements are offered both on-campus and online.

Students must complete the required 31 credit hours from the General Education Common Core plus 29 credit hours of electives, which may be in a specific field or from various fields of study. The degree requires a minimum of 60 credit hours.

To ensure maximum transferability of credits, students should coordinate their Associates of Arts degree course work with the General Education requirements of the four-year institution where they plan to transfer. ENMU-Roswell advises students preparing for specific careers in engineering, health sciences, or other professional disciplines to seek advising from the four-year institution of their choice to determine the appropriate transferability of electives.
