This plan of study was developed as a guideline for students who have not selected a specific area of concentration but plan to transfer to an Alabama public four-year institution and pursue a bachelor of arts degree. Students are encouraged to select a major and identify their transfer institution early in their college experience. The program emphasizes a strong background in the arts and sciences. Upon completion of the courses listed below, the transcript will reflect either an AA or AS degree without reference to the specific program of study.
NOTES:
* Students must complete a 6-semester-hour sequence in Literature or History.
* Once a major has been selected, students should contact Enrollment Services personnel and complete a Change in Major Form so they can be assigned a major-specific advisor who can assist them in selecting appropriate electives. They should also reference and print the appropriate Alabama Transfers Guide.
