Associate Degrees

In the Associate degree programs students have the opportunity to strengthen academic competencies while completing the first two years of their Baccalaureate degree and simultaneously earning an Associate degree. In a smaller, more intimate and intensive learning environment, students are surrounded by a learning support network that eases the transition from high school to university. All courses count toward the Mount Saint Mary’s University Baccalaureate degree program unless otherwise stated. Students wishing to transfer to other four year campuses should consult the colleges of their choice about the transferability of courses.

Four semesters are usually required to complete the Associate degree. Students may continue in the Associate degree programs for 6 semesters in order to fulfill requirements to graduate or to move to the Baccalaureate program. Students must be enrolled in an English course every semester until they have successfully completed ENG 1A and ENG 1B.
