As students work toward the A.A. or A.S. degree, they may earn an Associate in Arts (D10100) or Associate in Science (D10400) diploma signifying their successful completion of the general education core set of courses. Students must successfully complete the 44 SHC general education core to earn the diploma. The general education core includes study in the areas of humanities and fine arts, social and behavioral sciences, natural sciences and mathematics, and English composition. By completing the general education core and earning the diploma, students will find it easier to transfer coursework to the four-year institutions. Students who do not complete the general education core may find their transcripts analyzed on a course-by-course basis by the transfer institutions. The general education core (44 SHC) is listed below: |
