Students who declare the General Transfer Studies Associates of Arts (GTS-AA) and the Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT) will automatically use this framework for completion of general education requirements. If a student feels that they will eventually want to proceed to a four-year institution, they should work with their academic advisor to identify the best courses to take.
The remaining 18 credit hours can be courses that the most interests the student. They can be higher level courses within a future major or something fun that the students wants to learn about. Students are encouraged to work with their academic advisor and future four-year institution to determine the best path of course selection.
Students are encouraged to thoroughly review the class schedule before signing up for classes and to work with their academic advisor. Classes that fall under the CORE 42 framework are easily identifiable, as the MOTR designation is listed in the course title.
Students should frequently meet with their academic advisor to discuss and review their academic plans.
