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 proficiency equivalent to the

initial foreign language level. Students completing 101-102 foreign
language may use those credits to meet general elective requirements.
Waivers or credit by exam (through CLEP) for previous experience
is available for some languages. Students whose native language
is not English may substitute general electives for foreign language
upon the approval of the advising division chair.

requirements.
3 The natural science
elective may be selected from biology, chemistry, geology, natural
science, or physics with a lab component.

116, 1 cr. plus a PED activities course, 1 cr.; or PED 116, 1
cr. plus RPK 205, 216, or 225. PED 116 is offered as both a 1-credit
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.
7 The social science
elective may be selected from one of the following: economics,
geography, history, political science, psychology, or sociology
