Chandler-Gilbert Community College Catalog & Student Handbook 2018-2019 Chandler-Gilbert Community College Catalog & Student Handbook 2018-2019 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS 50 Maricopa Community Colleges (MCCCD) 2018-2019, Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) - A, B, S DESCRIPTION The Maricopa County Community College District Arizona General Education Curriculum (MCCCD AGEC) is a 35-38 semester-credit general education certificate that fulfills lower-division general education requirements for students planning to transfer to any Arizona public community college or university. Generally, the MCCCD AGEC transfers as a block without loss of credit. In most cases, all courses used to satisfy the MCCCD AGEC will apply to graduation requirements of the university major for which the AGEC was designed. There are three types of AGECs in MCCCD. They are the AGEC-A, the AGEC-B, and the AGEC-S. As described below, these AGECs are also a component of most MCCCD Associate degrees and comparable degrees at other Arizona public community colleges. The AGEC-A is the general education block of the five different MCCCD Associate in Arts (AA) degrees, the AGEC-B is part of the two MCCCD Associate in Business (ABUS) degrees, and the AGEC-S defines the general education requirements in MCCCD Associate in Science (AS) degree. As described in more detail below, all AGECs require designated Core courses in First Year Composition [FYC], Literacy and Critical Inquiry [L], Mathematical Studies [MA/CS] (Exception: The AGEC-S does not require CS.), Social-Behavioral Sciences [SB], Humanities, Design and Fine Arts [HU], and Natural Science [SQ/SG]. Students must satisfy two Awareness areas: Cultural Diversity in U.S. and either Global Awareness or Historical Awareness. PURPOSE OF THE AGECS AGECs were designed to articulate with different academic majors, and their particular requirements vary accordingly. In some majors, students are allowed to choose from a broad list of courses to satisfy the AGEC requirements; for others the courses are more restricted or even specified. Additional information on academic majors at the Arizona public universities can be accessed via the following website : www.aztransfer.com 1. The AGEC-A is designed to satisfy requirements in many liberal arts majors as well as other majors that articulate with an Associate in Arts degree (e.g., social sciences, fine arts, humanities, elementary education). AGEC-A requires a minimum of college mathematics or college algebra to satisfy the Mathematics [MA] requirement. 2. The AGEC-B is designed to satisfy requirements in business majors that articulate with the Associate in Business. AGEC-B requires a minimum of brief calculus to satisfy the Mathematics [MA] requirement.
