Choosing Your Classes

Once you have determined which degree fits your interests and abilities, you'll want to look ahead at the next two or three years of your education.  Typically, AAS degrees have specific courses that should be taken each semester.  AA degrees are more flexible so planning ahead will put you ahead of the game.
