Arizona General Education Curriculum--Science (AGEC-S)...................................... The AGEC-S requires a minimum of 36 credits (33 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-S may be met with fewer than 36 credits (fewer than 33 if FYC is met by single transfer course)* within an associate degree provided that all requirements listed below are completed. Courses applied to meet AGEC-S requirements vary by emphasis. Refer to the Program (Degree) Search at curriculum.maricopa.edu for specific course requirements. Some courses may be met by Required Courses or Restricted Electives. Some of these courses also have Awareness Areas designations and can be used to satisfy [C], [G] and/or [H] requirement(s) as well as other AGEC requirements, Required Course(s) or Restricted Elective(s). AGEC designations are subject to change. Courses may meet more than one requirement but are only counted once toward the total credits for the degree. See AGEC matrix for each course's value(s) in the semester it is taken. A. First-Year Composition [FYC].................................................................................... ENG101 OR ENG107.......................................................................................... AND ENG102 OR ENG108................................................................................ B. Literacy and Critical Inquiry [L]................................................................................. Students are strongly encouraged to choose an [L] course that also has [HU] or [SB] designation or to use CRE101 or COM225 from the Maricopa Additional Requirements Area to satisfy the [L] requirement. It may also have been approved to satisfy one or more Awareness Areas ([C], [G], [H]). (AGEC designations are subject to change. See AGEC matrix for each course's value(s) in the semester it is taken.) C. Mathematical Applications [MA]................................................................................ Requires the first semester of calculus courses designed for scientists and engineers (MAT220 or MAT221) or any other [MA] designated course for which Calculus I is a pre-requisite. D. Humanities, Arts and Design [HU]............................................................................. For the AGEC-S, a single course with both [HU] and [L] designations may satisfy both Areas. Note that some of these courses also have Awareness Areas designations and can be used to satisfy [C], [G] and/or [H] requirement(s) as well. (AGEC designations are subject to change. See AGEC matrix for each course's value(s) in the semester it is taken.) E. Social-Behavioral Sciences [SB]................................................................................. For the AGEC-S, a single course with both [SB] and [L] designations may satisfy both Areas. Note that some of these courses also have Awareness Areas designations and can be used to satisfy [C], [G] and/or [H] requirement(s) as well. (AGEC designations are subject to change. See AGEC matrix for each course's value(s) in the semester it is taken.) F. Natural Sciences [SQ/SG]........................................................................................... Students must complete eight (8) credits of General Chemistry, University Physics, General Biology for Majors, or Physical and Historical Geology. Consult specific requirements of university transfer major for guidance.
