Area F Requirements-Associate of Science Degree with Disciplinary Distinction

The Area F requirements for the Associate of Science degree consists of 18 credit hours related to a particular disciplinary distinction. Each disciplinary distinction is designed to provide a required foundation of courses for successful work on a specific major once the student transfers to a baccalaureate degree-granting institution. Because each receiving institution designs its own requirements for specific majors, it is important that:

• students decide as soon as possible their academic and career goals,
• become familiar with the applicable East Georgia State College degree requirements,
• decide where they intend to transfer, following graduation, and
• learn the requirements of the major at the institution to which they plan to transfer.

The student’s academic advisor can assist with all of these decisions, and it is strongly recommended that the student include the academic advisor early in all career and academic planning. Some courses included in Area F may be prerequisites for specific courses required in a major at the baccalaureate degree-granting institution. Therefore, if a student completes an Associate of Science degree at East Georgia State College and subsequently decides not to follow the corresponding major at the baccalaureate institution, the student may find it necessary to take additional courses in support of the new major.

How to Use the Following Section:

In this section of the catalog, we have provided the user with a complete list of area F requirements for the Associate of Science degree with Disciplinary Distinction at East Georgia State College. Below are some points of reference to look for when perusing specific requirements.

• The header for each degree program contains the School for the Academic discipline responsible for advisement of this Disciplinary Distinction.
• Each Disciplinary Distinction will typically contain 3-4 subsections: 1) Required coursework; 2) Guided Electives; 3) Free Electives and/or Foreign Language.
• To the right of each subsection header, you will find the number of hours required within the section. In some cases, a specific course(s) may be required within a section (Ex: Required: 9 hours). In others, the student may be able to choose from a group of courses (Ex: Guided Electives: 0-6 hours). This will be designated by the description, “(Choose…)”.
• If the hour requirement for a subsection begins at ‘0,’ the student is not required to complete any courses from the subsection as long as the total hours from the other sections equals 18 hours.
• Students should work closely with the advisor when deciding upon courses from the Guided Electives subsection. These course offerings should complement the required coursework and apply towards the major area of study in a four-year degree.
• Pay particular attention to the italicized comments within each area of Disciplinary Distinction for information unique to that degree.

The detail information under each subsection lists the course information, including: prefix, number, description and number of credit hours.
