AS and AA degrees require a minimum of 34 credit hours of general education requirements as outlined below. Unless specified by program, individual courses can meet multiple degree requirements. The AA degree also requires successful completion of any language course at the 1020 level or higher as part of the 27 credits beyond general education (see Language and Culture program entry in the catalog for details). Students must complete a minimum of 61 credits, including the general education requirements, to graduate with an AS or AA degree.
Note: Some academic programs may recommend different courses for the general education requirements than those listed below. General education recommendations are not requirements, but faculty have decided that such recommendations may aid the student in the future, especially when transferring. See academic programs listed alphabetically in the program descriptions section of this catalog.
