Curriculum Requirements

Students are required to complete a minimum of 71 semester hours with a grade point average of not less than C (2.0).

All associate degree programs require English 101 Freshman English and English 102 Introduction to Literature. Students must pass skills assessment for entrance into these courses. Students who are well prepared may substitute ENG 104 English I Honors and ENG 105 English II Honors for ENG101 and ENG102. Students who are considering the English Honors sequence should consult the Director of Honors.

All technology students take a common core of courses during the first semester along with an introductory course in their chosen degree program. After the first semester, it is possible for the student to transfer from one degree program to another without loss of credit.
