CRE101 [L] OR equivalent as indicated by assessment II. General Electives Select courses to complete a minimum of 60 semester credits but no more than a total of 64 semester credits. For students who have decided on a major that articulates with the AA, but who are undecided on the university to which they will transfer, courses satisfying the General Electives area should be selected from the list of Common Courses, Arizona Transfer Pathway Guides, and/or University Transfer Guides in order for the courses to apply in the major upon transfer. The list of Common Courses for each major is included in the Arizona Transfer Pathway Guides. University Transfer Guides are also available for the Arizona public universities. These guides, both statewide and institutional, are accessible on the following web site: www.aztransfer.com/ Maricopa courses and external courses evaluated as Maricopa equivalents or departmental electives (for example, HISELC, MATELC), that are numbered 100 level or higher, and completed with a grade of "C" or higher, may be ap- plied in the elective area, regardless of potential transferability to other institutions. It is recommended, however, that students planning to transfer to a baccalaureate-granting institution meet elective requirements with courses that are transferable and applicable to their intended university degree. For appropriate course selection, students should consult with an advisor. For some majors, students must demonstrate 4th semester proficiency at the 202 course level to satisfy the Non-English Language Requirements. Students should consult the Arizona Transfer Pathway Guides and/ or the University Transfer Guides to determine this requirement for the major at the university to which they intend to transfer. If required, it is recommended that students choose Maricopa courses as electives to meet this require- ment as part of the Associate in Arts degree. Students who are undecided on a major or university should consult an advisor. Not all majors have common courses, so it is recommended that students consult with an advisor for a list of common courses or assistance with selecting appropriate electives.
