Students who satisfactorily complete approximately 50% of the requirements for selected baccalaureate degrees may earn either an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree en route to their four year degree. Only one En Route per student will be awarded for any combination of Bachelor’s degrees earned. For part-time students, or students who need to stop out due to personal or extenuating circumstances, the en route associate degree can be a valuable intermediate goal, bridging the period between matriculation and the completion of a four-year baccalaureate degree.

A minimum of 60 hours, including the required A-State general education curriculum, and current enrollment with the institution are required. The degree may not be declared by students upon entry to A-State. Students will be notified of their eligibility for the degree upon satisfactory completion of the minimum requirements or students who feel they have met requirements for the degree may notify the Office of the Registrar for a degree audit.
