What is AGEC?
• AGEC stands for Arizona General Education Curriculum. AGEC is the best way to make your credits count for most transfer degrees.
• The purpose of AGEC is to provide students attending any Arizona public community college with the opportunity to build a General Education curriculum that is transferable upon completion without a loss of credit to another Arizona public community college or university.
• AGEC is a statewide agreement between Arizona public community colleges, Northern Arizona University (NAU), Arizona State University (ASU), and the University of Arizona (U of A). Coconino Community College began implementing the AGEC spring of 1999.
• AGEC is a 35-credit block of lower division General Education curriculum that fulfills the lower-division General Education requirements at any Arizona public community college or university.

Why complete an AGEC?
1. When you complete an AGEC with a 2.5 Grade Point Average (GPA), all admission requirements are waived at all Arizona public universities. This means that you are unconditionally admitted to any Arizona public university of your choice after completing an AGEC¹ with a 2.5 GPA.

2. AGEC satisfies ALL lower-division liberal studies requirements at all Arizona public universities.
3. For most majors, if you complete an AGEC and specific courses you need for transfer, you can enter any Arizona public university as a junior. Please see an advisor for more information.
4. Save money by completing your lower-division liberal studies requirements at CCC2. On the average, Coconino Community College tuition rates are about one-third of the Arizona public universities’ tuition.
5. Classes are generally smaller than university freshman and sophomore liberal studies classes.
6. If you have some high school concurrent or dual enrollment credits, and/or Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) credits (PLA may include earned credit from exams, portfolios, or other alternative learning assessments) that satisfy our General Education requirements, these credits can be counted toward an AGEC and will transfer to all Arizona public universities.

1 Depending on the major or department you plan to transfer to at
the university, you might still need to meet departmental admission requirements.
2 You may or may not choose to complete a degree at Coconino Community College.

Why complete a CCC transfer degree?
All CCC transfer degrees result in an AGEC1. Therefore, you get all the benefits of completing an AGEC and more.
• You may be able to transfer into the university as a junior. See an advisor for more information.
• You will have an associate degree, making you more competitive in the job market.

When might AGEC not be necessary?
Some university majors require you to take very specific courses from the beginning of your college education. See an advisor for these majors and to discuss your academic plan.

What happens if you don’t complete an AGEC?
• You will need to meet ALL standard university admission requirements.
• You will need to complete university liberal studies requirements which may or may not be the same as Coconino Community College’s General Education requirements.
• Your General Education courses will be evaluated one by one using the Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) instead of being transferred as a General Education block, satisfying ALL lower-division General Education requirements.

Tips for students planning to transfer    Return to menu

• See an advisor as soon as possible. The earlier you develop an educational plan with an advisor, the less of a chance you have of losing credits after transferring to an Arizona public university. Don’t wait until you almost graduate to see an advisor.
• Explore your career interest to help you decide on a major early.
• Don’t take any more than 64 transferable credit hours, because all Arizona public universities accept only a maximum of 64 transferable credit hours2.

1 At CCC, you don’t need to switch catalogs to get the benefits of an AGEC.
2 This does not mean that they will accept ALL transferable courses. Please see an advisor to discuss which courses you should take to ensure that you are taking courses that will be counted toward the university graduation requirements.

Notes:
1. Check your chosen degree program for specific General Education requirements.
Arizona General Education Curriculum: AGEC
2. Letter designations attached to courses in the above list define courses with AGEC Special Requirements of: E – Ethnic, Race, Gender Awareness, W – Intensive writing/ Critical Inquiry, C – Contemporary Global/International Awareness or Historical Awareness.

The Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) is a block of 35 semester credit hours of lower-division, General Education course work. There are three forms of AGEC:
1. AGEC-A is a 35-credit lower-division General Education curriculum block that fulfills the lower-division General Education requirements of liberal arts majors (e.g. Fine Arts/Visual Arts, Psychology, Sociology)
2. AGEC-B is a 35-credit lower-division General Education curriculum block that fulfills the lower-division General Education requirements of business majors (e.g. Business Administration, Computer Information Systems)
3. AGEC-S is a 35-credit lower-division General Education curriculum block that fulfills the lower-division General Education requirements of majors with more stringent mathematics and mathematics-based science requirements (e.g. Biology, Chemistry)

AGEC-A, AGEC-B, and AGEC-S can be completed separately or as part of an associates degree at CCC and must include the Special Requirements listed below. The College certifies completion of the AGEC on the official transcript.

A completed AGEC will transfer as a block to meet the lower-division General Education requirements at any of the Arizona public universities or other Arizona community colleges. Transfer students who wish to earn the associate degree must then meet additional CCC degree requirements. To earn the bachelor's degree, students transferring the AGEC must still meet course prerequisites, major requirements, and upper-division requirements at their chosen university.

Special Requirements
Students planning to transfer a completed AGEC must meet the additional Special Requirements listed below. These requirements may be met within the 35 hours of General Education Core Curriculum by choosing one course from each of the following lists.

Note: A minimum of two courses must be taken to fulfill AGEC Special Requirements.
