By earning an Associate Degree, a student indicates to potential employers, transfer institutions and society that they not only have specialized knowledge in a particular area of study. Rather, degree completion also signals that the student has gained critical and analytical thinking ability, written and oral communication skills, and is able to consider issues with ethical and global perspective. Students are strongly advised to meet with a counselor early to decide which degree best suits their academic needs and for assistance in planning their course of study. Requirements for all 17Թ Associate Degrees include completion of (1) a minimum of 90 quarter units in a defined set of courses; (2) a minimum of 24 units taken at 17Թ; (3) a grade-point average of 2.0 or better in all college courses including 17Թ courses; (4) a major or area of emphasis of at least 27 units in a curriculum approved by the 17Թ Curriculum Committee; and (5) general education coursework. There are significant differencesin the general education requirements depending upon the degree you are pursuing; consequently, students are again urged to meet with a counselor to determine which general education pattern is most appropriate. The four types of degrees offered are: Associate in Science Degree (AS degree): The AS degree is awarded to students who complete all of the requirements in a major or area of emphasis in the areas of science, technology, engineering or mathematics. This degree also requires completion of the 17Թ General Education requirements. Students who plan to complete this degree and who also wish to transfer to a four-year college or university are advised to meet with a counselor for assistance in developing an educational plan that satisfies both sets of requirements. Associate in Art Degree (AA degree) The AA degree is awarded to students who complete all of the requirements in a major or area of emphasis in the liberal arts, social sciences and fields other than science, technology, engineering or mathematics. This degree also requires completion of the 17Թ General Education requirements. Students who plan to complete this degree and who also wish to transfer to a four-year college or university are advised to meet with a counselor for assistance in developing an educational plan that satisfies both sets of requirements.. Transfer Associate Degrees. In accordance with the California state legal mandate that all California community colleges offer associate degrees specifically designed for students intending to transfer to a California State University (CSU) campus, 17Թ awards the Associate in Science-Transfer and the Associate in Arts-Transfer degrees. These degrees will guarantee junior-level admission to a local CSU campus in a related major. In addition to a minimum of 27 units in a major, the degree requirements include completion of either the CSU General Education/Breadth requirements or the Intersegmental General Education Breadth Requirements (IGETC). Students are advised to meet with a counselor for assistance in determining which degree best suits their transfer plans and in creating a comprehensive educational plan. Associate in Science-Transfer (AS-T degree) Similar to the AS degree, the AS-T degree is awarded to students who complete all of the lower division major preparation requirements for a related major in the areas of science, technology, engineering or mathematics for one or more local CSU campuses. This degree also requires completion of either the CSU General Education/Breadth requirements or the Intersegmental General Education Breadth Requirements (IGETC). Students who plan to complete this degree and who wish to transfer to a non-local CSU, UC or other college or university are advised to meet with a counselor for assistance in developing their educational plan. Associate in Arts-Transfer (AA-T degree) Similar to the AA degree, the AA-T degree is awarded to students who complete all of the lower division major preparation requirements for a related major in academic areas such as the liberal arts, social sciences and related fields other than science, technology, engineering or mathematics for one or more local CSU campuses. This degree also requires completion of either the CSU General Education/Breadth requirements or the Intersegmental General Education Breadth Requirements (IGETC). Students who plan to complete this degree and who wish to transfer to a non-local CSU, UC or other college or university are advised to meet with a counselor for assistance in developing their educational plan. Note: At the time this catalog was published, the specific AA-T and AS-T degree requirements were not available. As soon as the degree requirements are final, detailed information will be available on the 17Թ web page and through the Counseling Center. 17Թ General Education Pattern The 17Թ general education pattern is designed to ensure that students meet the four Institutional/General Education Learning Outcomes: Communication: Demonstrate analytical reading and writing skills including evaluation, synthesis, and research; deliver focused and coherent presentations; demonstrate active, discerning listening and speaking skills in lectures and discussions. Computation Complex problem-solving skills, technology skills, computer proficiency, decision analysis (synthesis and evaluation), apply mathematical concepts and reasoning, and ability to analyze and use numerical data. Creative, Critical, and Analytical Thinking Judgment and decision making, intellectual curiosity, problem solving through analysis, synthesis and evaluation, creativity, aesthetic awareness, research method, identifying and responding to a variety of learning styles and strategies. Community/Global Consciousness and Responsibility Social perceptiveness, including respect, empathy, cultural awareness, and sensitivity, citizenship, ethics, interpersonal skills and personal integrity, community service, self-esteem, interest in and pursuit of lifelong learning. Completion of the 17Թ general education pattern requires that students successfully earn a minimum of 30-35 units from the courses listed below with at least one course in Humanities, English, Natural Sciences (with lab), Social and Behavioral Sciences, Communication and Analytical Thinking, United States Cultures and Communities, and two courses in Lifelong Learning from two different academic departments.       Associate Degree/17Թ GE pattern catalog language revisions  TIME \@ "M/d/yy h:mm AM/PM" 3/1/11 8:56 PM  It is imperative to note that this pattern is only appropriate for students pursuing a 17Թ Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree, but is not appropriate for students pursuing an AA-T or AS-T degree. Students planning to earn an AA-T or AS-T must complete either the IGETC or CSU-Breadth general education pattern. Because there are significant differences between the three patterns, students are strongly advised to meet with a counselor to determine which pattern will best meet the students goals. @ABSTU o /  % / 1 %&~~~~~r~~~~~dh|h?5\^JaJ *hT~h?^JaJhW 5h?^JaJh (>h?^JaJh=f(h?\^JaJh?\^JaJhJh?>*^JaJh?5>*\^JaJhJh?5>*\^JaJh?5>*CJ^JaJhQzh?5>*CJ^JaJh?^JaJh?5>*^JaJ"ABTU '(OPymn8$$d%d&d'd-D1$7$8$H$M NOPQa$gd? $1$7$8$H$a$gd?&'(MP\w#~m+5gKPah""û~rdrdrûXMhdh?^JaJhh?5^JaJhdh?56^JaJhdh?5^JaJh6g<h?5^JaJhVDh?6^JaJhVDh?5\^JaJhVDh?^JaJh|h?5^JaJh?^JaJhW 5h?5\^JaJh?5\^JaJhh@`h?5>*^JaJhW 5h?^JaJh=f(h?^JaJ#QRH%@ Z![!## $ & Fa$gd?2$$d%d&d'd-DM NOPQa$gd?$a$gd? $1$7$8$H$a$gd?
