Associate in Arts Program
All students in the Associate in Arts Program (AAP) receive dedicated advisement, academic, mental health and social support services. Students benefit from a low-cost education, close to home, with lots of personal attention. An associate degree can be a valuable intermediate goal, leading to a baccalaureate degree. Like all UD students, AAP graduates are eligible to pursue degrees in any of the University’s eight undergraduate colleges. Prior to selecting a major, students identify an interest area that informs the courses they take while in the AAP. Coursework can be used to fulfill general education requirements to allow students to stay “on track” for a number of majors – with the exception of “highly structured programs” such as engineering or athletic training.
