General Education Outcomes, Transfer Guidelines and Requirements

General Education Values Statement
The General Education curriculum provides the core of learning in all degree programs and demonstrates the commitment of Coconino Community College to student success. This core of learning includes skills in reading, writing, quantitative and critical thinking which provide a basis for university study or lifelong education. Specific courses emphasize the principles of mathematics, science, or technology. Others focus on greater awareness of self, society, and the history and culture of humankind. General Education presents skills and knowledge for students to succeed in academic, career, and life goals.

Note: The General Education Core Curriculum is not a degree

Education for Life!

Thinking about transferring?
Make your credits count!


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 starting 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 AGEC1, 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 AGEC2.
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 CCC3. 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 enrollment credits, and/or CLEP credits that satisfy our General Education requirements, these credits can be counted toward an AGEC and will transfer to all Arizona public universities.

1 Arizona residents need to have a minimum AGEC GPA of 2.0.
Non-residents are required to have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5.
2 Depending on the major or department you plan to transfer to at
the university, you might still need to meet departmental admission requirements.
3 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
• 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.

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.

Degrees and Certificate Programs

Associate of Arts Degree (AA)
The Associate of Arts Degree is designed for students planning to transfer to a college or university and requires a minimum of 60 credit hours. All courses included in the degree must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. A minimum of 35 of these credit hours must be completed in the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC-A, AGEC-B or AGEC-S). The remaining degree requirements are comprised of 25 credit hours or more in the student’s elected program of study.

The Associate of Arts in Colorado Plateau Studies degree is designed for transfer to all Arizona public universities. This is an inter-disciplinary degree that includes courses from the Arts, Humanities, and  Sciences in its core. The degree is not only inter-disciplinary in its curriculum but may also be adapted to give students an emphasis in one of three academic areas: Arts and Culture, Science, and Business. The emphasis in Arts and Culture meets the requirements for the AGEC-A; the emphasis in Science meets the AGEC-S; and the emphasis in Business meets the AGEC-B. Students interested in meeting the requirements for one of the emphasis areas should see their advisor for details.  Students completing this degree will transfer 60-64 credits to all Arizona public universities

Associate of Business Degree (ABus)

Certificates are awarded after successful completion of a series of specific courses. Certificates require a cumulative CCC grade point average of 2.00 or higher. Some certificate programs and/or credit hours may be applied toward other certificates and/or an Associate of Applied Science degree.


Quick Reference to Degrees
