Students completing the A.A. in Liberal Arts must demonstrate intermediate college-level (201–202) proficiency in a language other than English. The 201–202 courses require a prerequisite proficiency equivalent to the 101–102 sequence in the language. Depending on the foreign language chosen for study, credits will vary in the Beginning levels between 3-5 credits and in the Intermediate levels between 3-4 credits.
Placement testing determines initial foreign language level. Students who place directly into intermediate level foreign language or ASL may take any transfer-oriented course to meet the credit requirement. Students completing the equivalent of the 101-102 sequence in foreign language may use those credits to meet General Education Elective requirements.
Waivers or credit by exam for previous experience is available for some languages [insert a link to Credit for Prior Learning rather than single out CLEP, since we also use the NYU test now]. Students whose native language is not English may substitute General Education Electives for foreign language upon the approval of the advising academic dean.
2 Students planning to transfer to some B.S. degree programs may take any courses from the following list: MTH 181,
MTH 182, MTH 241, MTH 242, MTH 173, MTH 174, MTH 270, MTH 271, MTH 272, MTH 273, MTH 274. Seek advice of a counselor or academic advisor to meet the requirements of other transfer institutions. Credit will not be awarded for both MTH 173 and MTH 271. Credit will not be awarded for both MTH 174 and MTH 272.
3 Students cannot take the one semester version course and combine with the two semester version course. PSY 201 and PSY 202 cannot be combined with PSY 200. PSY 231 and PSY 232 cannot be combined with PSY 230, and PSY 231 cannot be combined with PSY 235.
4 May substitute the SDV 101 Orientation section related to this program.
5 May substitute ENG 125 with the advice of a counselor or academic advisor according to the requirements of the transfer institution.
6 See HIS courses listed under social/behavioral sciences under General Education Electives. HIS 101–102 are recommended.
7 See humanities/fine arts courses listed under General Education Electives. Elective should be selected with advice of a counselor or academic advisor to meet requirements of the transfer institution.
8 Psychology majors may choose any two 200-level psychology courses (with the exception of PSY 200) to fulfill this requirement.
