PSEO Pathway to an Associates

The Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies is a flexible program for our PSEO and Early College Students. Once accepted into the PSEO or Early College programs, students interested in an Associate's degree will be assisted by the Admissions office in creating an application for a future term, usually after high school graduation. Admissions and advising will work together to ensure students either:

  1. Graduate from high school with the A.S. degree completed, or
  2. Prepare to enter the program after completing PSEO.

Admitted PSEO students who express interest in the Associate's degree will be referred to an advisor. Each semester, the advisor helps create a personalized academic plan and tracks the student's progress.
