A. General Education Requirements for the Associate in Arts Degree- 36 Credits
The general education program at Valencia is designed to contribute to the student's educational growth by providing a basic liberal arts education and it is an integral part of the A.A. Degree program.
There are two approaches to general education at Valencia. The first is 36 semester hours of academic credit which serve as the core of the curriculum. The 36 hours are selected from 5 core areas of academic courses offered at Valencia: Communications, Humanities, Mathematics, Science and Social Sciences. The second approach is the 24-semester-hour Interdisciplinary Studies Honors Program and completion of SPC 1600, POS 2041, and the six-semester-hour mathematics requirement outlined in Area 3. The description of the first approach follows, and the second approach is described in the Honors section of this catalog. When a number of courses may be used to satisfy a degree requirement, a course attribute code identifies each course that may be used to satisfy that specific requirement.
