    In my forum searches for AA degree plans, I was unable to find any. I also realized that the particular college I was researching didn't seem to readily publish the requirements (COSC). Yes, some people do only seek AA degrees. Below is a degree plan for an AA at Charter Oak State College. I have also included the CLEP/DSST exams that will meet the requirements. I did not list any other exams (AP, etc...). Each requirement is followed by a letter code, which corresponds to the exam list provided. If an exam will satisfy a requirement other than the one its listed under, that will be indicated. Please note that a capital "U" after the exam name denotes upper level credit. If anyone else has an AA degree plan for the other two of the big three, feel free to share!
