General Education broadens your perspectives
and introduces you to several important fields of knowledge. In meeting Eastern
Arizona College's GE requirements you will also gain increased awareness of
ethnicity, race and gender, and international and historical influences on our
culture.
The Arizona Board of Regents and the State
Community College Board have agreed to three transfer general education
programs. The purpose of the agreement is to ensure that when you complete your
GE requirements at EAC you will be able to transfer to an Arizona public
university without loss of credits.
The three transfer general education programs
are the Arizona General Education Curriculum, Associate of Arts (AGEC-A), the
Arizona General Education Curriculum, Associate of Business (AGEC-B), and the
Arizona General Education Curriculum, Associate of Science (AGEC-S),
Eastern Arizona College has established
general education programs satisfying each of the three AGECs. It will usually
be in your best interest to complete the AGEC for your major at EAC before
transferring to an Arizona university. When you have completed the AGEC, EAC
will certify your achievement on your academic transcript. Completing the AGEC
for your major at EAC fulfills the lower division, general education
requirements of the corresponding baccalaureate degree at each of the three
state universities. Should you elect to not complete an AGEC at EAC you will
not be afforded the same transfer status as those who do. Your courses will be
evaluated on a course- by-course basis by the university to which you transfer.
Some majors, particularly in the professional
fields, have significant prerequisites and/or program requirements that will
not transfer within one of the three general education programs described
above. If you have selected a major that is not listed in the EAC catalog, or
one that is listed as a Transfer Guide-Extra Requirements (TG-XR) degree,
carefully consult the catalog and/or curriculum transfer guide of the
university to which you plan to transfer and the Course Equivalency Guide
before you register for your GE courses. Obtaining assistance in this process
from an advisor at the university you plan to transfer to is strongly
recommended. EAC faculty advisors and counselors can also assist you.
You must meet the General Education
requirements by selecting appropriate courses from the required program areas.
In some cases, a degree program may require you to select specific courses
rather than choose from the list of approved GE courses. Required courses for
each EAC curricula are listed in the curriculum section of the catalog under
the heading General Education Requirements.
To complete your AGEC, you must complete an
Intensive Writing/Critical Inquiry course. These courses are designated in the
list below with the notation (IW).
The AGEC also requires that you complete a
Global/International/Historical Awareness course. Courses that meet this
requirement are designated with the notation (GIH).
A single course will not be used to fulfill
both the Intensive Writing/Critical Inquiry and the Global/International/Historical
Awareness requirements. To minimize the number of classes required to
complete GE requirements, select courses from the humanities or social sciences
that also fulfill the Intensive Writing/Critical Inquiry or Global/International/Historical
Awareness requirements.
Course content addressing ethnicity, race and gender is embedded in the College’s humanities and social science courses that are part of the general education program.
