The list identifies the courses in alpha-order by prefix as well as the different Core Areas and Awareness Areas where the course will apply.  When selecting Mathematical Studies and Natural Sciences options, select from the appropriate AGEC A, B, or S list.

I.		MCCCD General Education	Credits
		A.			MCCCD AGEC-B
		1.			Core Areas:					35
			a. First-Year Composition [FYC]							6
			b. Literacy and Critical Inquiry [L]							3
			c. Mathematics Studies [MA/CS]							6
			To complete the Mathematics Studies requirement select one course to satisfy the Mathematics [MA] B and a second course from Computer/Statistics/Quantitative Applications [CS].
			1) Mathematics [MA] B (3 credits) MAT212, Brief Calculus, or a higher level mathematics course
			AND
			2) Computer/Statistics/Quantitative Applications) [CS] (3 credits)  NOTE: Students are encouraged to select GBS221 OR CIS105 to satisfy [CS].
			d. Humanities and Fine Arts [HU]							6
			Students are encouraged to choose course work from more than one discipline for a total of six semester credits.
			e. Social and Behavioral Sciences [SB]							6
			Students are encouraged to choose course work from more than one discipline for a total of six semester credits.
			f. Natural Sciences [SQ/SG]							8
			To complete the Natural Sciences requirement:
			Select four (4) semester credits of [SQ] and four (4) semester credits of [SG] for a total of eight (8) semester credits, OR eight (8) semester credits of [SQ]. Students cannot take eight (8) semester credits of [SG] to meet the Natural Sciences requirement
					The lecture course(s) selected for Natural Sciences must include or be accompanied by the corresponding laboratory course. The lecture and corresponding laboratory course(s) may carry separate credit.  Students should consult with an advisor for appropriate course selection. Students should also access the AZ Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) within the AZ Course Applicability System (AZCAS) for information on transfer equivalencies
		2.			Awareness Areas:
					Students must satisfy two Awareness Areas: Cultural Diversity in the U.S. [C] and either Global Awareness [G] or Historical Awareness [H]. However, it is not necessary for students to exceed thirty-five semester credits to complete the Awareness Areas because courses can satisfy a Core Area and one or two Awareness Areas simultaneously. Therefore no additional semester credits are required to satisfy the two Awareness Areas.
					Cultural Diversity in the United States [C]
					AND
					Global Awareness [G]
					OR
					Historical Awareness [H]
II.		Common Lower Division Program Requirements:								27-28
		A total of 27-28 credits is required to satisfy the Common Lower Division Program Requirements.  However, if students select courses that simultaneously satisfy multiple areas of the degree, then the number of semester credits required for Common Lower Division Program Requirements is reduced. Additional semester credits may be required in General Electives to complete the minimum 62-63 total program semester credits.
		Complete the following:
				Accounting:
						*	ACC111 & ACC230 & ACC240
						OR
						**	ACC211 & ACC212
						*		MCCCDACC250 or ACC211 may be taken in lieu of ACC111.
						**		MCCCD ACC111 and ACC112 together are equivalent to ACC211.		6-7
						CIS105 [CS]				3
						ECN111 [SB]				3
						ECN112 [SB]				3
						GBS205				3
						GBS220 or MAT172 [MA]				3
						GBS221 [CS]				3
						Business Elective				3
						Select from the following options:
						CIS158 [CS]			COBOL Programming I
						CIS159 [CS]			Visual Basic Programming I
						CIS162AA [CS]			C: Level I
						CIS162AB [CS]			C++: Level I
						CIS162AC [CS]			Visual C++: Level I
						CIS163AA [CS]			Java Programming: Level I
						GBS151			Introduction to Business
						GBS233 [L]			Business Communication
						MGT251			Human Relations in Business
						MGT253			Owning and Operating a Small Business
						REA179			Real Estate Principles I
III.		General Electives
		Select courses to complete a minimum of 62 semester credits but no more than a total of 63 semester credits. General Electives semester credits may be necessary if courses selected for the degree satisfy multiple areas. For appropriate course selection, students should consult an advisor.
		Students must select courses that are acceptable as an equivalent course, department elective credit (XXXXDEC), or general elective credit (Elective) at all Arizona public universities according to the Arizona Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) within the Arizona Course Applicability System (AZCAS).  For appropriate course selection, students should consult with an advisor.
