The following coursework is required for all degrees unless you already hold a bachelor's degree.
Some students wonder why they have to take so many classes for an associates degree.
As students encounter the general education requirements at universities, they might feel the same way. Simply put, our faculty, just like faculty across the nation, are committed to education and that for citizens to be educated persons, a certain assortment of classes need to be taken. These general education classes promote essential skills and understandings to ensure breadth of knowledge and to promote intellectual inquiry among all students, regardless of the area of study. This is the difference between a college and a trade school, between learning for life and learning a temporary skill, between growth and stagnation. And it's not just the philosophy of faculty.
