Associate in General Education (A10300)
The Associate in General Education degree is designed for the academic enrichment of students who wish to broaden their education, with emphasis on personal interest, growth and development.
Course work includes study in the areas of humanities and fine arts, social and behavioral sciences, natural sciences and mathematics, and English composition. Opportunities for the achievement of competence in reading, writing, oral communication, fundamental mathematical skills, and the basic use of computers will be provided.
Through these skills, students will have a sound base for lifelong learning. Graduates are prepared for advancements within their fields of interest and become better qualified for a wide range of employment opportunities. Although Associate in General Education is not a transfer degree, students who decide to continue their studies at a senior institution may receive transfer credit for some of the courses taken at 千媚宫AV. Acceptance of courses for transfer credit will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis by the receiving institution.
