The primary function of the Division of Arts and Sciences is to provide two years of study leading to the associate degree and/or transferability to a university. Another function of this division is to provide developmental courses for students whose high school grades, admission test scores, placement test scores, and counseling interviews show them to need help in obtaining proficiency in the basic skills of reading, English, and mathematics before attempting standard college courses.
Developmental courses are required when educational background and/or test scores indicate a weakness in the basic skills of English, mathematics, or reading.Courses of Study
The curricula listed for the Division of Arts and Sciences are designed for students pursuing the associate degree and/or transfer to a university.

If the student has not selected a specialization or if a package of courses has not been recommended for the specialization the student has chosen, the general Associate in Arts plan should be followed.
