General Education Requirements
Associate of Applied Science Degrees
All Associate of Applied Science degrees include a minimum of 15 semester credit hours in general education coursework. General Education courses must be taken from the applicable core curriculum foundational component areas (FCA). While some programs of study indicate the specific FCA such as “Creative Arts Elective,” other programs may provide students with the option to take a “Humanities/Fine Arts Elective.” For programs that do not specify a specific humanities/fine arts, social/behavioral sciences, or natural sciences/mathematics course (or FCA) students may choose from the following.
