described in the Degree Requirements section of the Instructional
Programs of this catalog.
1 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

languages. Students whose native language is not English may
substitute general electives for foreign language upon the approval
of the advising division chair.

and a 2-credit course.
5 Any 200-level literature
course with an ENG prefix satisfies this requirement.
6 HIS 101-102 or HIS
121-122 are recommended.
