The Arts and Sciences Division confers the Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees. Students who complete the prescribed course of study may transfer to a four-year college or university to complete the junior and senior-level requirements for the baccalaureate degree. These degree programs are designed to be completed in two years of study, however, students have the option of transferring credits at any time they finish their studies at South Plains College. The Arts and Sciences Division is comprised of 10 academic departments and 45 suggested programs of study. The division is under the supervision of the Dean of Instruction. Programs and courses are offered primarily at the Levelland Campus and the SPC Reese Center. Students who meet the general requirements and specific minimum requirements will be awarded an associate degree.

A core curriculum program has been established by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to facilitate the transfer of college-level credit among colleges and universities in Texas. Each institution is required to establish a core curriculum of at least 42 semester credit hours. However, the purpose of the core curriculum is larger than satisfying the credit-hour requirements.

These skills include, but are not necessarily limited to, the ability to:

When students know their major and transfer institution and course options are given in the core, students should choose courses that satisfy their specific degree plan.
