• You plan to transfer to one of Arizona's public universities and EAC does not offer a degree pathway that matches the first two years of study in the major you wish to pursue. 

• You plan to transfer to a private Arizona college or university or an out-of-state institution and you wish to customize an EAC degree to match the required courses in your major at that school. 

• You do not plan to transfer to another College or University and wish to obtain an Associate Degree that incorporates a General Education component and lets you select other courses according to your interests.

The AGS Degree is not included in any transfer agreements and credits earned may be accepted or rejected by a receiving institution. If you plan to transfer upon completion of this degree and since program requirements differ between universities, the official transfer guide of the school which you plan to attend upon leaving EAC should be consulted in order to adjust this program to your personal needs.

General Education Requirements

The General Education Requirement may be satisfied in two different ways. Select the option below that best meets your needs. 

Option 1 - Arizona General Education Curriculum 

If you plan to transfer to one of Arizona's public universities you will be best served by completing one of the three Arizona General Education Curriculums. They are the AGEC-A, AGEC-B and AGEC-S. If you know where you are transferring and what your major will be, find out which AGEC is appropriate and follow it as outlined below. If the major you select does not accept an AGEC or has a unique set of General Education requirements go to Option Two.

AGEC-A: This General Education Program is better suited for majors in the Liberal Arts.

To complete your General Education requirements, one of the courses taken to fulfill degree requirements must be designated as an Intensive Writing/Critical Inquiry course and another must be designated as a Global/International/Historical Awareness course.

AGEC-B: This General Education Program is intended for students majoring in a business curriculum.

To complete your General Education requirements, one of the courses taken to fulfill degree requirements must be designated as an Intensive Writing/Critical Inquiry course and another must be designated as a Global/International/Historical Awareness course.

Option 2 - Approved General Education Curriculum

File with your graduation petition a general education curriculum of at least 35 credits approved by a regionally accredited college or university for which equivalent transferable courses are available at EAC or an Arizona public university transfer guide for the major you intend to complete. Completion of those courses will fulfill the AGS Degree General Education requirement.

Courses listed in Curriculum Requirements that qualify for General Education credit (see the General Education section of the catalog) may fulfill both General Education and Curriculum Requirements unless General Education Requirements are specified in the major.  

Elective Requirements
