Community Colleges CURRICULA MATRIX FOR ARIZONA’S COMMUNITY COLLEGES

FALL 2018 ~ SPRING 2019

The following curricula matrix includes all academic and vocational programs offered by Arizona’s community colleges during the academic year 2013 -
2014. This matrix indicates the type of degree or certificate awarded at the completion of each program.

Associate of Arts - This is a college transfer degree and is recommended for students who plan to complete the first two years of a baccalaureate program
at the community college. Because the first two years of a baccalaureate program vary considerably among curriculums and institutions, it is usually neces-
sary to design the course work for this degree to satisfy the curriculum outlined in the catalog of the university to which the student intends to transfer.
Associate in Transfer Partnership - This degree is is designed to meet the needs of the Maricopa Community College students transferring to public and
private colleges and universities.
Associate of Business - This is a college transfer degree and is recommended for students who plan to complete the first two years of a baccalaureate
program at the community college. Because the first two years of a baccalaureate program vary considerably among curriculums and institutions, it is usu-
ally necessary to design the course work for this degree to satisfy the curriculum outlined in the catalog of the university to which the student intends to
transfer.
Associate of Science -This is a college degree and is similar to the Associate of Arts degree, except that the student’s major emphasis is in science or
engineering course work.
Associate of Applied Science - This degree is awarded to students who complete the requirements of a specified two-year program.
Associate of General Studies - This degree is awarded to students who complete an approved two-year program in general studies.
Certificate - A certificate is awarded to students who have completed an approved vocational program. The length of time necessary to complete certificate
programs varies depending upon the achievement of the technical skills and competence necessary in a specific program.
License - A license is awarded to students who have completed a program of study approved by the licensing agency. These programs vary according to
the specific licensure requirements.

Transfer Model in Arizona: Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC)
Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) - Each of the Associate Degrees has thirty-five semester credits of study that comprise a “block” known as
the AGEC. Because there are some differences in the mathematics and science requirements for each degree, there are three AGECs.

AGEC-A: This is 35 semester credits that are part of the Associate of Arts degree.
AGEC-B: This is 35 semester credits that are part of the Associate of Business degree.
AGEC-S: This is 35 semester credits that are part of the Associate of Science degree.

Completion of the AGEC with a grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale guarantees your admission to the universities if you are a resident student. Non-
residents must have a grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. Completion of the AGEC also means that you will have met the lower-division general
studies requirements at any of the universities for the majors that articulate with that AGEC.
Note: The Community College Matrix is not available in the on-line Arizona College & Career Guide, however by doing a search of the programs of study,
the same results will be obtained. You may also view the community college of your choice and go to their individual web site to obtain course listings.
