Program Description

An interdisciplinary program which offers breadth and diversity rather than specialization.  The curriculum is not housed within any one of the academic divisions, but consists of the sum of those courses approved for general education credit for the Associate Degree.  This program offers a basic core education in the traditional academic disciplines, and the major is ideal for those students who are undecided in their major.

Associate in Arts Degree

An Associate in Arts Degree can be obtained upon completion of 60 units, including the 18-unit major, general education requirements, and electives.  The major consists of courses to be selected from the four areas below.  One course from each area is required with the remainder of the major to be selected from the remaining courses in any of the areas.  The required course in the Natural Science area must include a laboratory.
