Requirements for Associate of Applied Science Degrees

All AAS degree plans include at least five general education courses. Each degree plan must contain a minimum of one course selected from each of three categories: Natural Sciences/Mathematics, Humanities/Fine Arts, and Social/Behavioral Sciences. Most degree plans specify that students must complete certain general education courses for the degree. However, some degree plans allow students to select electives from one or more general education category. The courses listed below meet the general education requirements in AAS degree plans for the three categories shown. This list is not exhaustive.  Other courses may be used to satisfy the general education requirements. Students should speak with their Program Coordinator, Department Chair or advisor if they believe they have taken courses which can be applied to the general education requirements.
