*NOTE: State certification requirements include courses on the constitutions of US and Arizona. Taking GCU/POS113 for [SB] fulfills this
requirement completely. Students who instead take HIS103 or POS110 for [SB] should consider taking POS221 as a Content Area Elective so
they have completed study of both constitutions. POS220 meets state certification requirements for both constitutions but does not meet [SB].
**64 semester credits is the maximum accepted toward most degree programs at Arizona's public universities. Some exceptions apply; consult
with an academic advisor for additional transfer pathways.
