Courses Designated to Fulfill General Education Requirements

The general education core curriculum is designed to assist the student in attaining the knowledge and outcomes represented by the General Education Goals of the College. The program of study listed below leads to the Associate of Science Degree. Students who desire to earn the Associate of Arts Degree must complete two semesters of the same college level foreign language. Foreign language taken at the high school level will not count toward the language requirement for the Associate of Arts.  The ♦ symbol denotes courses that fulfill general education requirements for university parallel degrees.

* Students wishing to graduate with an Associate of Arts Degree must have two semesters of the same college-level foreign language.

History Credits: 6 Hours


Choose 2 of the following courses:

Mathematics Credits: 3 Hours


Credit toward graduation cannot be received for both courses in any of the following pairs: (BIOL 1030, BIOL 1010); (BIOL 1030, BIOL 2010); (BIOL 1030, BIOL 1110); (BIOL 1010, BIOL 2010); (BIOL 1010, BIOL 1110); (BIOL 2010, BIOL 1110); (CHEM 1030, CHEM 1110); (GEOL 1030, GEOL 1040); (GEOL 1030, GEOL 1050); (MATH 1130, MATH 1710); (MATH 1830, MATH 1910); (PHYS 1030, PHYS 2010); (PHYS 1030, PHYS 2110); (PHYS 2010, PHYS 2110).

If a 4-hour math course is used to satisfy this requirement, the extra credit hour will count as elective credit toward graduation.
