Program Details

This degree covers a broad area of study and is intended for students who may not be planning to transfer to a four-year university or who may need to explore possibilities before committing themselves to a major.

Students are required to:

Complete Moorpark College’s General Education Requirements to include areas A-F (see page 71) Complete a minimum of 18 units in the Humanities area of emphasis (6 of the 18 units must be within a single discipline) with a grade of “C” or better or a "P" if the course is taken on a "pass-no-pass" basis (Title 5 § 55063).

Even though a "pass-no pass" grade is allowed, it is recommended that students complete all their major coursework for a letter grade (A, B or C).

(NOTE:

Universities have limitations on the number of units that can be taken "pass-no-pass" and therefore it is strongly recommended that students take all major coursework for a letter grade.) Courses in the area of emphasis may also be used to fulfill general education requirements but the units may count only once. Complete a minimum of 60 degree-applicable units. Complete the college’s other graduation requirements in competency (mathematics and English), scholarship, and residency. NOTE:

Students planning to transfer to a four-year university are advised that this curriculum may not adequately prepare them for transfer.

General Studies Patterns II and III are designed for transfer students..
