      Associate Degree Programs in Literature

      Most associate degree programs require 60 credit hours of study in a subject and take around two years to complete, depending on whether you study part-time or full-time. Associate degree holders are generally able to continue their academic studies in a bachelor’s degree program.

      What is an associate degree in literature? Programs of study in this area typically focus on multiple forms of literature, including drama, poetry, short story, creative nonfiction, and novels. Some programs may include study of newer forms, such as flash fiction, short fiction, or hybrid genre work, which combines the elements of two or more forms. Also, students may opt to take courses in science fiction, fantasy, children’s literature, comedy, and satire, as well as study world literature and literary works produced by underrepresented groups. Finally, many of these programs blend a study of literature with composition, structure, and grammar.

      An associate program often exposes students to a wide variety of genre and forms. This can provide a critical foundation for future studies in literature, literary arts, or creative writing. Graduates also can expand their skills and knowledge to advance in an already-held vocation.

      The cost of an associate degree program depends on many factors, such as the institution, its location, the length of the program, and other fees charged. Contact each school individually to find out their tuition and fees for your desired program of study.

      Earning a literature associate degree can often lead to higher salaries and better career opportunities throughout the world and can prepare professionals to work in education, publishing, social media, advertising, marketing, and communications. Additionally, graduates can pursue freelancing opportunities in writing, proofreading, and editing.
