Best Answer

Typically, the associate of arts degree must have 75% of the coursework in the liberal arts and science area. It is designed as a transfer program. As such, it is intended to complete the first two year general education courses/cluster required by four year colleges and universities where students can enter with junior level status.

It depends on the major, and it also depends on what you mean by elective credits. There are free electives and electives that are specific to a subject area. For example, a liberal arts degree can have 12 credits in free electives (you can take anything), where a business degree may be six to nine, but while they are electives, they may be electives specific to a subject area. For instance, a business degree might have nine credits in electives, but six may have to be taken in the business area. Thus, you have a choice but only within that area. Then the other three credits may be required within the humanities area. So, all I can say is, "it depends."

How many credits can be used from a cosmetolgy license towards an AA?

None. The cosmetology program is typically at the vocational school level, and as such, no credits would be transferable. There are some colleges and universities that evaluate work experience, however, it is a lengthy, and expensive procedure to go through for the few credits that may be usable as an elective. It's just not worth it. Still, I would not get discouraged. A degree can open up more career opportunities for your. Just go ahead and do it.
