Degree Options

Students may earn an Associate in Arts AA-DTA degree (90 credits) which is designed for students planning to transfer to a baccalaureate institution with junior standing. Students pursuing this degree should meet with an academic advisor at WWCC and an advisor at their intended baccalaureate institution to determine an appropriate educational plan. (See AA-DTA in Degrees section of catalog).

Preparation for Success

Students who plan to major in philosophy at the four year college or university should take all of the Philosophy courses offered at WWCC, including Symbolic Logic. The great majority of schools require at least two years of a language other than English for a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.
