The Associate of Arts in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics
Comprised of most of the courses in the Common Core, students in the AA degree are introduced to the Judeo-Christian worldview including the Old and New Testament, American and Western civilization (history and literature), writing, politics, and economics. Moreover, students can take advantage of multiple elective course offerings to augment the Common Core with languages and the arts or to prepare for a major in a different field. Overall the program is designed to produce well-rounded, ethically-driven, and highly motivated students. The Associate of Arts in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics requires the successful completion of at least 60 hours of approved college-level courses of study as tabulated below:

2. The successful candidate for this degree must have a cumulative GPA of 2.00 in all work completed at The King’s College. However, in order to demonstrate a satisfactory level of performance in the use of English and math, the successful candidate for the AA Degree must obtain a grade of C or higher specifically in the following three courses:
a. ENG-101 College Writing I
b. ENG-201 College Writing II
c. MAT-117 Mathematical Ideas and Practice or one other three-credit math course for which MAT-117 is a prerequisite.
3. The successful candidate must satisfactorily complete all the requirements for at least two Lectureships (fall and spring).
4. The successful candidate for the AA degree must obtain approval for graduation from the Office of the Registrar and upon vote of the faculty.
While the Associate of Arts in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics program may be started at the beginning of any semester, students should be aware that not all courses will be offered each semester.
Placement examinations assessing skill levels in English writing, math, and foreign language will be required for all incoming students. These examinations will be administered as part of the admissions process before a student begins classes at TKC. Placement in the initial math course will be based on the student’s performance in high school math courses, and the quantitative sections of the SAT and/or ACT.
