General Studies: Natural Sciences or Mathematics (Pat. 2/3)

Associate in Arts (AA) in General Studies Pattern II This pattern is intended for students who are planning to transfer to a four-year university in high-unit majors or where completion of CSU GE-Breadth or IGETC is not appropriate or advisable. See www.assist.org for guidance. Independent or out-of-state universities may also fall in this category. Select and complete courses from the general education of a transfer institution to include, at a minimum, the following Title 5 requirements: Natural Sciences (3 units) Social and Behavioral Sciences (3 units) Arts and Humanities (3 units) Language and Rationality – English Composition (3 units) Communication/Analytical Thinking (3 units) Three additional units from any of the above areas Complete local graduation requirements to include: Health Education (one course/no unit minimum): CD M23; HED M01, M03, M05, M07; NS M35; NTS M01, M07 Physical Education/Kinesiology (one course/no unit minimum): CJ M09A, M09B; Any ICA/KIN activity course (except KIN M01, M13, M13L, M16, M17, M18, M20, M21) or any DANC activity course (except DANC M24, M26, M31, M51, M53, M56) Ethnic/Gender Studies: (a minimum of 3 units) ANTH M02, M07, M09, M13; ARTH M130; CD M05; COMM M12, M13; DANC M31; ENGL M30A, M30B; ETHS M01, M10; FTMA M108; GEOG M02, M03, M03H; HIST M131, M133, M135, M137, M137H, M141, M145, M164; PSY M14; SOC M08, M10 Choose an area of emphasis from one of the four categories available Complete a minimum of 18 units in the chosen area of emphasis with a grade of "C" or a "P" if the course is taken on a "pass- no pass" basis (Title 5 § 55063). Even though a "pass-no pass" 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 (A,B, or C). Complete a minimum of 6 of the 18 units within a single discipline. Select courses that fulfill major preparation requirements for the chosen transfer institution. CSU and UC articulation can be found at www.assist.org. If no articulation exists with the intended transfer institution, you may obtain guidance from recruitment counselors, the transfer institution’s departmental advisors in your major, and their catalog/website. Complete a minimum of 60 transferable units. Complete competency requirements in Mathematics and English (see page 55 for options in meeting competencies). NOTE: Courses used to fulfill the CSU GE-Breadth or IGETC requirements in Mathematics and Written Communication or English Composition will fulfill this requirement. 6. Complete requirements in scholarship (2.0 minimum cumulative degree-applicable GPA) 7. Complete residency requirements. Students must complete at least 12 semester units in residence at Moorpark College in order to receive a degree from Moorpark College. The same policy applies to all colleges in the district: a minimum of 12 semester units must be completed at the college granting the degree.
