Degrees

Harper College offers six degrees: the Associate in Arts, the Associate in Science, the Associate in Fine Arts–Music, the Associate in Fine Arts–Art, the Associate in Applied Science, and the Associate in Engineering Science. The A.A., A.S., A.F.A. and A.E.S. degrees are primarily for students desiring to transfer to four-year institutions. The A.A.S. is primarily for those in two-year career programs, although many students transfer to four-year colleges after earning the A.A.S. degree.

In addition, the College provides certificate programs designed to meet specific needs of the community. These programs are normally one year in length, and upon completion of the prescribed courses, the student receives a certificate of completion.
