GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES - TRANSFER DEGREES

Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC)

Arizona public community colleges and universities have agreed upon a common structure for transfer of general education curriculum. The Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) block fulfills the lower-division general education requirements at all Arizona public community colleges and universities. Arizona residents who complete only an AGEC need to have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 and a grade of C or better in each AGEC course for assured admission into an Arizona public university, while Arizona residents who complete an associate degree need to have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 for assured admission.

The AGEC block at Cochise College consists of 35-39 credits.

The three types of AGECs are:

AGEC-A	meets the general education requirements for arts and liberal arts majors in the Associate of Arts (AA) degrees and in the Associate of Arts Elementary Education (AAEE) degree.
AGEC-B	meets the general education requirements for business and information systems majors in the Associate of Business (ABUS) degrees.
AGEC-S	meets the general education requirements for math and science majors in the Associate of Science (AS) degrees.

Coursework should be chosen from the appropriate AGEC course list to meet specific degree requirements.

General education requirements are:

Composition	6 credits
Mathematics	3-5 credits
Laboratory sciences	8 credits
Arts	3 credits
Humanities	3 credits
Social and behavioral sciences	6 credits
Technology literacy (AGEC-B only)	3 credits
AGEC-A: general education electives	4-6 credits
AGEC-B: general education electives	1-3 credits
AGEC-S: additional mathematics and/or laboratory sciences	6-8 credits
TOTAL GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS	35-39 CREDITS

The following applies to all Cochise College AGEC blocks:

All courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.
Six credits of coursework must be completed to fulfill the intensive writing requirement.
The cultural and historical or global awareness requirements are satisfied by completing the arts, humanities, and social and behavioral science portion of the AGEC.
A minimum of eight credits in the AGEC component of any transfer degree must be completed in residency at Cochise College.
A maximum of 20 credits of the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) certificate may be satisfied by prior learning coursework.
