Chandler-Gilbert Community College Catalog and Student Handbook 2015-2016 Degree Requirements 271 Associate in Business (ABUS) Degree, General Requirements (GR) DESCRIPTION The Maricopa County Community College District Associate in Business General Requirements (ABus GR) degree requires a total of 62-63 semester credits for the program of study. The degree has three major components: I. MCCCD General Education, which includes Arizona General Education Curriculum for Business (AGEC-B), II. Common Lower Division Program Requirements, III. General Electives. PURPOSE OF THE DEGREE The ABus GR degree is designed for students who plan to transfer to Arizona's public universities into majors that articulate with the Associate in Business General Requirements pathway and for students who plan to complete lower division course work toward a baccalaureate program at other degree granting institutions. All business majors except Computer Information Systems should follow the ABus GR pathway. Computer Information Systems majors should follow the Associate in Business Special Requirements pathway. Generally, the degree transfers as a block without loss of credit to Arizona's public universities and other institutions with district-wide articulation agreements. In most cases, courses used to satisfy the MCCCD Associate in Business General Requirements will apply to university graduation requirements of the university major for which the ABus GR was designed. ACADEMIC POLICIES THAT GOVERN THE ASSOCIATE IN BUSINESS GENERAL REQUIREMENTS DEGREE: • Requires 62-63 semester credits in courses numbered 100 and above to be completed with a grade of "C" or better.

On an exception basis, P-grades may be allowed in the AGEC for credit transferred if documentation collected by the community college indicates that the P-grade issued was the only option for the student and the P-grade is a "C" or better. The P-grade exception does not apply to credits awarded by AGEC granting/receiving institutions;
