Custom Degrees at SNHU

We aren't going to know more about SNHU than their employees. If they don't list a degree program in their catalog that lets you design associate's degrees, then you can't design an associate's degree. Accreditation agencies don't let students create and design whatever major they want. The major the school will have a name such as general studies, interdisciplinary studies, multidisciplinary studies, individualized studies, learner designed area of study, etc. Within those majors, you can design concentrations.

Colleges have to have majors approved by their accreditor, and they aren't going to ask and pay for review and approval of every student's self-designed degree. So, students have to design concentrations in a major that is already approved and designed for that purpose.

Public administration is basically a management/business degree for non-profits and the public sector. Just get a liberal arts associate's program that will knock out your general education requirements and possibly some of the lower level political science courses and move on to the bachelor's. You don't need an associate's in political science.
