2020-2021 Catalog [PREVIOUS CATALOG YEAR]
Associate of Science
|
|
Credit Hours Required: 60 (minimum)
The Associate of Science degree requires completion of a minimum of 60 credit hours. Although students often have the option of entering a career field upon completion of the Associate of Science, this degree plan is primarily designed to provide the first two years of coursework to prepare students for transfer into a related upper-division baccalaureate degree program. The Associate of Science degree is the appropriate degree plan for students who major in fields with more stringent mathematics and mathematics-based science requirements.
Students preparing to transfer to an upper-division baccalaureate degree program should contact an academic advisor in the major field of study at the transfer institution in addition to meeting regularly with an academic advisor at Yavapai College.
Regular advisement is important to build an educational plan and ensure transferability of general education, elective, and major courses.
Note: The Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC-S) is embedded in the Associate of Science degree. Upon completion (including the Special Requirements) of the AGEC with a grade of "C" or higher, the student will receive recognition of completion on the transcript and guaranteed transferability of the AGEC upon admission to one of the state universities in Arizona.
Students must complete a course from each of the following AGEC Special Awareness areas:
- Intensive Writing/Critical Inquiry (IWR)
- Ethnic/Race/Gender (ERG) Awareness
- Global/International or Historical (GIH) Awareness
