this jquery not working

I m using jQuery for my drupal site. I can't add class to current element by using jQuery.

I put this addclass inside a if condition with alert. Alert has working fine. But addclass not working. 

if (jQuery(".explore_degree_widget_area li a").has(":contains('Associates')")) { 
    jQuery(this).addClass('icon_associate');
    alert('Yes');
}

Can you help me?

If condition would be always true, since has() returns filtered jQuery object. Also has() avoid text nodes, it's only check on it's descendant, You need to use filter() . 

jQuery(".explore_degree_widget_area li a").filter(":contains('Associates')").addClass('icon_associate');

or use combined selector 

jQuery(".explore_degree_widget_area li a:contains('Associates')").addClass('icon_associate');

Try

$(".explore_degree_widget_area li a:has(:contains('Associates'))").addClass('icon_associate');

this refers to the context but not to the element. Use the following:

jQuery(".explore_degree_widget_area li a:contains('Associates')")
    .addClass('icon_associate').each(function() {
        alert('Yes');  // if you really want to have it
    });
