Have you always been drawn to art? Do you have a passion for writing? Do you ever wonder why human cultures act and look the way they do? Do you have a passion for education? If so, then consider an Associate of Arts at College of Eastern Idaho.
What is an Associate of Arts Degree?
At CEI, you design the degree you want. The flexibility of the Associate of Arts degree means you can personalize your pathway toward whichever four-year degree you are aiming for. We have multiple pathways into various fields, all transferring to the university or college of your choice. Simply identify your pathway, complete the 36 credits of required GEM courses, then use the remaining 24 credits to focus on your area of interest. With careful planning and advising, you can arrive at your transfer college as a full Junior!
And by offering a wide range of learning experiences and modalities, faculty here at CEI meet you where you are and empower you to complete your journey toward success.
- For an Associates of Arts (AA) at least two additional courses must be from Humanistic and Artistic and/or Social and Behavioral Ways of Knowing

Advising utilizes Major Pathways. If you have plans for a future in BA, these are the suggested classes. Some classes may need to be petitioned for credit when transferring to a four-year university. We suggest you speak to your advisor for guidance with Major Pathways.

The General Education Core Complete formalizes the programmatic completion of the general education framework established in SBOE Policy III.N. The Core Complete in General Education is completed as part of an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree. Students may not select Core Complete as a declared major, but will receive a notation on their transcript to show they have completed the general education core requirements. It marks a significant milestone in a student’s pursuit of the AA or AS degree.
