Consultation with an academic advisor about course selection is always recommended. Credits Arizona General Education Curriculum--Arts (AGEC-A)..................................... The AGEC-A requires a minimum of 35 credits (32 if FYC is met by single transfer course)*, however, the AGEC credit count within the total credits for a degree may be lower if courses are also applied toward Required Courses or Restricted Electives and the credits are counted in those areas. Credits count once toward the total for the degree. Therefore, the AGEC-A may be met with fewer than 35 credits (fewer than 32 if FYC is met by single transfer course)* within an associate degree provided that all requirements listed below are completed.
