General Studies, AA&S

Length: 60-62 credits

Purpose: The curriculum is designed for the student who plans to complete a baccalaureate degree program.

Final responsibility for transferability of courses rests with the student and the registrar of that institution. Contact the division dean or an advisor for additional information.

Program Outcomes: A student will be able to:

• demonstrate proficiency in oral communication;
• demonstrate effective written communication skills;
• demonstrate proficiency in mathematical skills to solve problems;
• demonstrate proficiency in scientific reasoning;
• demonstrate proficiency in information literacy; and
• demonstrate the ability to reason critically and apply logic to solve problems.
