College of Arts and Sciences and School of Fine Arts
Courses are accepted by Drake at their DMACC semester hour value. See the list of approved DMACC courses that meet the Drake Curriculum requirements. If you plan to complete your associate degree, please work closely with your DMACC advisor or counselor to select courses which will also fulfill those requirements. Additional courses used to complete the DMACC A.A. degree will be evaluated by Drake according to the Course Articulation Agreement. A maximum of 66 semester hours of transfer credit from two-year institutions will be accepted. The Associate Dean will determine how each transferred course meets specific degree requirements.
We have listed recommended courses for particular majors below. However, requirements for the many majors within the College of Arts and Sciences and School of Fine Arts are varied, it is to your advantage to contact a Drake advisor early in your enrollment at DMACC to plan a course of study that will lay a foundation for your intended major. You may contact a Drake admission counselor at 1-800-44-DRAKE, x3181, or 1-515-271-3181 locally for referral.
