Transfer Model

Model for Transfer Degrees and General Ed Requirements

Due to the increasing number of students fulfilling degree requirements at more than one City College, a Districtwide model for CCC Transfer Degrees and General Education requirements has been designed. This model facilitates the need for a smooth transition for the student's path to degree completion. Listed below is the Districtwide model for CCC Transfer Degrees and General Education Requirements.

Uniform CCC Transfer Degree Requirements

Associate in Arts:	62 hours*	37-41 hours of General Education 21-25 hours of additional graduation requirements, electives, and concentration area requirements
Associate in Science:	64 hours*	37-41 hours of General Education 23-27 hours of additional graduation requirements, electives, and concentration area requirements

The General Education component of both degrees equates with the IAI General Education Core Curriculum and consists of courses that are IAI approved as follows:

9 hours of Communication (English 101, English 102, and Speech 101)

3-6 hours of Mathematics

9 hours of Social Sciences (no more than 2 courses from any one discipline)

9 hours of Humanities and Fine Arts (one course from Humanities, one course from Fine Arts and 1 course from either Humanities or Fine Arts) Note: Humanities includes Humanities, Philosophy, Literature, Religion, and Foreign Language 104 and above. The Fine Arts category does not allow studio art courses.)

7-8 hours of Science (one course each from the physical and life sciences at least one of which must be a lab course)

Note: The IAI General Education requirements for particular areas of concentration may vary from those described above. Information about the IAI requirements is described at the IAI Website address www.itransfer.org.

At least one course must meet the State's Human Diversity requirement. The course descriptions on the IAI Website for Humanities, Fine Arts, and Social and Behavioral Sciences include the designations "D" for courses designed to examine aspects of human diversity within the United States and "N" for courses designed to examine aspects of human diversity from a non-Western perspective.

*These represent minimum hours for graduation.
