Associate Degrees

An associate's degree is the first college degree you can earn. It signifies the completion of a minimum of 60 semester units of college work, including the units necessary to complete a major plus general education (GE) courses. Associate of Arts (A.A.) degrees are given for non-technical majors (such as Liberal Arts or Communication Studies); Associate of Science (A.S.) degrees are given for technical or occupational majors (e.g., Chemistry or Computer Science). West Valley College offers a total of 60 associate's degrees ranging from Business to Computer Arts and Animation. The college awards hundreds of degrees every year to students who are planning to enter the work force or transfer to a four-year college.
