2-Year Associate Degree Programs at Wayne College Campus
Associate of Arts and Associate of Science
Students are encouraged to earn an Associate of Arts or the Associate of Science – while earning credits toward a bachelor’s degree program. An associate degree is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by The University of Akron Wayne College upon completion of a course of study.
The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degree programs are typically transfer degrees designed for students who intend to continue their education into a bachelor degree program. The general education course requirements within either of these associate degree programs will transfer toward a bachelor’s degree.
