| The Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) is a
35-semester credit block of lower division general education courses
designed for students planning to transfer to Arizona public
universities. Certified completion of the block satisfies admission
requirements to any Arizona university and will fulfill all lower
division general education requirements for the majors with which the
block articulates.
There are three AGEC blocks: AGEC-A, intended for liberal arts and other majors; AGEC-B, intended for business majors; and AGEC-S, intended for majors with more stringent mathematics and mathematics-based science requirements. |
