Total credits for the A.A. Degree in Liberal Arts = 60.

¹ Students completing the A.A. in Liberal Arts must demonstrate intermediate college-level (201-202) proficiency in a language other than English. The 201-202 courses require a prerequisite proficiency equivalent to the 101-102 sequence in the language. Placement testing determines initial foreign language level. Students completing 101-102 foreign language may use those credits to meet general elective requirements. Waivers or credit by exam (through CLEP) for previous experience is available for some languages. Students whose native language is not English may substitute general electives for foreign language upon the approval of the advising division chair.

² Any higher mathematics course with a computer component may be substituted, see transfer requirements.

³ The natural science elective may be selected from biology, chemistry, geology, natural science, or physics with a lab component.

⁴ The PED requirement may be met by one of the following options: PED 116, 2 cr.; PED 116, 1 cr. plus a PED activities course, 1 cr.; or PED 116, 1 cr. plus RPK 205, 207, 208, 216, or 225. PED 116 is offered as both a 1- credit and a 2-credit course.

⁵ HIS 101-102 or HIS 121-122 are recommended. Other social science courses may be substituted depending on the requirements of transfer institutions.

⁶ Any 200-level literature course with an ENG prefix satisfies this requirement.

⁷ The social science elective may be selected from the following: economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, or sociology (includes anthropology).

⁸ Any humanities course (ART, HUM, MUS, PHI, REL, SPD, or foreign language) or 200-level literature (ENG) course satisfies this requirement. Select an elective that fulfills the requirement of the institution to which transfer is contemplated. Some transfer institutions require six credits of sophomore literature.
