Local General Education Requirements for the Associate Degree

General Education requirements at Cypress College are designed to introduce students to the many ways people comprehend the modern world. The subject matter presented in general education courses is designed to be broad, and frequently introductory, rather than specialized, narrow, or advanced. These courses form a pattern of learning experiences designed to develop the following insights and capacities in all students, regardless of their ultimate educational goals:

• Knowledge of the common principles, concepts, and modes of inquiry in the major disciplines;
• Appreciation and understanding of the environment, culture, society, and self;
• Ability to think and communicate clearly and effectively, critically and ethically both orally and in writing;
• Proficiency in mathematics, natural science, and analytical thinking;
• Understanding of the political and economic environment in order to be better informed and more responsible citizens;
• Desire to continue education throughout their lives.

Courses taken for general education must be on the Local General Education pattern at the time they are taken. Continuing students should check with a counselor in planning completion of General Education requirements. Students entering Cypress College in Fall 1995, or later, must complete 25 units of General Education (of the total 60 degree applicable units required for the Associate Degree) taken from the following areas listed on the next page.

Associate Degree Requirements

Major course-work toward an occupational degree (AA or AS), completion of 60 degree eligible units with a minimum grade point average of 2.0 and satisfaction of the 25-unit general education requirement. 

Prior Completion of General Education

Students with an earned associate, baccalaureate or higher degree from a institutional accredited institution of higher learning will not be required to complete any additional general education coursework to earn an Associate degree. Students who have been admitted to a Bachelor Degree program at Cypress College and who have already earned a baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education shall not be required to complete additional upper division general education requirements and shall be required to complete only the coursework necessary for graduation.
