The Arizona public community colleges and UA have agreed upon a common
structure for a general education core curriculum. This common agreement is
called the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC). AGEC is composed of a
minimum of 35 semester units of lower-division general education course work
in which a student may prepare for transfer.
Students transferring from an Arizona community college to the University
have the option of completing the lower-division general education
requirements at the University or completing the AGEC.
Completing the AGEC will fulfill the following lower-division general
education requirements at the University: composition, mathematics, Tier
One and Tier Two. Students utilizing this option will still be required
to fulfill lower-division program requirements, second language, and
prerequisites within their college and major/minor area of study. The
requirements for the AGEC are available through the Arizona community college
advising centers.
In the absence of a complete AGEC transfer package, transfer students from
Arizona community colleges may meet their general education requirements with
a combination of AGEC-approved courses taken before their initial enrollment
at UA along with subsequent UA general education course work.
