The General Studies degree is designed for students who either have undeclared majors or who are developing a general or liberal studies emphasis. Students completing this degree will transfer 60-64 credits to all Arizona public universities. Students planning to transfer to a university other than an Arizona public university should see an advisor.
Minimum credit hours required: 60
There are two pathways in the General Studies degree:
1. General Requirements Pathway
This pathway requires AGEC-A and fourth semester natural human language proficiency, other than English, including American Sign Language.
2. Special Requirements Pathway
This pathway requires students to take AGEC-A and some Common Courses. Common Courses are courses that are accepted as a part of the major at all Arizona public universities. The list of Common Courses is determined statewide. See an advisor or check the college catalog web site (www.coconino.edu) for these Common Courses.
Depending on the area of interest, one pathway may be more suitable for a student's educational plan than the other. Students changing pathways may accumulate more credits than necessary for graduation from a university. See an advisor for more information.
