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.
Note: A satisfactory score on the Cypress College reading proficiency test will determine placement into college-level English (Area A1 below) or pre-college level course work. Refer to the Class Schedule listed under STEP TWO, ENGLISH ASSESSMENT. A student may attempt to pass the proficiency exam only one time after completion of ENGL 100 C or equivalent.
The mathematics requirement may be met by passing a Mathematics Proficiency Examination (Area B2 below). Refer to the Class Schedule for time and date of administration of the Mathematics Proficiency Examination. See Math Proficiency Examination explanation, location can be found in the MATHEMATICS portion of the Class Schedule or the catalog.
