AA Degree Help Needed!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi everyone!

I currently go to a community college where I finished all my general ed and pre-reqs for the nursing programs at the CSU's. I will be applying this fall(2013) for next fall (2014). However, I am only 1 unit away from getting an AA degree in Biology with Emphasis in Allied Health Sciences. That unit is a PE class. I was thinking of taking yoga or dance. But I won't have my AA degree until december when the class is finished and I'm applying in october/november. So, when I apply I won't be able to say I have a degree because I'm still taking 1 class for it. Should I even take that 1 unit class or is it not worth it? Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

I take the 1 credit and get the degree. On your application put AA degree in Biology pending completion in Dec. 2013.

Can you do that? And will it count for extra points?

I would think so. They will probably give you the points for the degree with the stipulation that if you don't graduate they will deduct those points. You might want to call them to make sure. They will probably want a new transcript once the class is done and it says "degree conferred" meaning degree issued. Regardless it is one credit (gym class, no less), why not take it to get a degree???
