Academic Associate Degree Programs
Academic Associate Degree programs are designed to give the student an expanded educational experience in one academic area. Students are required to take a minimum of 18 degree-applicable semester units in a specific subject area.
The Liberal Arts major allows the student who has not yet decided on a major field of study the opportunity to sample courses in a variety of subjects.
Students must complete at least 30 semester units of general education requirements as listed in Graduation Plan A. In addition, 18 semester units of degree-applicable courses are required. These may be taken in a variety of subject areas. A total of 60 units are required for the degree, of which 36 must be CSU transferable.
Occupational Associate Degree Programs
These programs are designed to give the student job skills to use for employment purposes and to provide an Associate Degree upon the successful completion of a two year occupational program. Students should follow Graduation Plan B.
Occupational Certificate Programs (C)
Occupational Certificates are awarded upon successful completion of a series of courses leading to mastery of specific job skills. A grade of “C” or better is required in each course.
Certificate of Achievement Programs (CA)
Certificates of Achievement document a student’s achievement of specific skills or course work within a discipline. Certificates of Achievement require fewer than 18 units of coursework in the area described.
Student Responsibility |
The suggested sequence of courses in each program is the most desirable to follow; but the order may be changed, if necessary, as long as prerequisites are met. It is the student’s responsibility to meet course prerequisites and graduation requirements. The general education and physical education requirements for the Associate Degrees are listed in the “Graduation Requirements” section of this catalog addendum.
Students planning to transfer to a bachelor degree program should consult a counselor to verify requirements. |
