Maricopa Community Colleges (MCCCD) General Education Curriculum 2017-2018 61 • Require courses that transfer as equivalent courses, departmental elective credit (XXXXDEC), or general elective credit (Elective) at all Arizona public universities according to the Arizona CEG (Course Equivalency Guide). The course evaluation and/or general education designation as listed in AZ Transfer is valid for the term in which the student is awarded credit on the transcript; • Require that a minimum of 12 semester credits of course work be taken at any of the MCCCD colleges; • Include both courses and their modular equivalents, either the course or the modular equivalents will satisfy the AGEC; • Accept one of the courses that is cross-referenced with other courses; • Provide for exemption from Arizona university admission requirements for: Students who complete the AGEC A, AGEC B, or AGEC S with a minimum 2.5 on a 4.0=A scale, or students who complete an associate or higher degree from a regionally accredited post-secondary institution with a minimum 2.0 on a 4.0=A scale for Arizona residents and a minimum 2.5 on a 4.0=A scale for non-residents. AGEC Requirements The 35-38 semester credits required for each of the three AGECs follow.

The AGEC A, B, S, and AGEC Matrix identify the courses in alpha-order by prefix as well as the different Core Areas and Awareness Areas where the course will apply. A. Core Areas: ................................................................................................................................................................... 35 1. First-Year Composition (FYC) ......................................................................................................................................... 6 2. Literacy and Critical Inquiry [L] .................................................................................................................................. 0-3 AGEC A & AGEC B: Select a course that satisfies the [L] requirement (3) AGEC S: Recommend selecting a course that satisfies (L and SB) or (L and HU), or (L and COM), or (L and CRE101) requirements simultaneously. 3. Mathematical Studies [MA/CS] ................................................................................................................................... 4-6 The Mathematics [MA] requirement differs for AGEC A, AGEC B, and AGEC S. To complete the Mathematical Studies requirement for AGEC A and AGEC B, select one course to satisfy Math- ematics [MA] and a second course from Computer/Statistics/Quantitative Applications [CS]. AGEC S does not require the [CS] area. AGEC A requires; a. Mathematics [MA] (3 credits) AND (Requires a course in college mathematics (MAT140, MAT141, MAT142) or college algebra (MAT150, MAT151, MAT152) or pre-calculus (MAT187) or any other mathematics course designated with the MA general education value and for which college algebra is a pre-requisite.) b. Computer/Statistics/Quantitative Applications [CS] (3 credits) AGEC B requires; a. Mathematics [MA] (3 credits) AND (Requires a course in brief calculus (MAT212) or a higher level mathematics course (MAT220, or MAT221 or any course for which these courses are prerequisites). b. Computer/Statistics/Quantitative Applications [CS] (3 credits) CIS105 Survey of Computer Information Systems AGEC S requires; a. Mathematics [MA] (4 credits) AND Requires a calculus course (MAT220 or MAT221) OR any mathematics course for which MAT220 or MAT221 are prerequisites 4. Humanities, Arts and Design [HU] ............................................................................................................................... 6 AGEC A and AGEC B: Students are encouraged to choose courses from more tha0n one discipline for a total of six semester credits. AGEC S: Recommend selecting a course that satisfies (L and HU) requirements simultaneously. 5. Social-Behavioral Sciences [SB] .................................................................................................................................... 6 AGEC A and AGEC B: Students are encouraged to choose courses from more than one discipline for a total of six semester credits. AGEC S: Recommend selecting a course that satisfies (L and SB) requirements simultaneously.
