Program DescriptionThe Associate of Arts degree (A.A.) at JCCC is a general transfer degree and partners well with the first two years of most bachelor degree programs. Students who transfer to UCM with an Associate of Arts degree are considered to have met all 42 hours of UCM’s General Education requirements, with the exception of Major/Minor-Required General Education courses and the Constitution Requirement. Visit the UCM General Education Program guide for details. The elective hours within the A.A. allow students to complete additional general education and lower division courses required for specific majors/minors. Students who transfer to UCM without a degree (or a degree other than an AA) will have all coursework evaluated on a course-by-course basis. JCCC students not completing the AA degree should visit the UCM General Education Program guide for course equivalents and also the UCM catalog for any specific or additional General Education requirements for their UCM program of study. NOTE: Courses taken to fulfill General Education requirements may not be taken on the pass/fail basis. Students should be cognizant of UCM’s Upper-Level Course Requirement and Residence Requirement, especially if enrolling in more than 60 hours at JCCC. Visit the UCM General Education Program guide for details. The Kinesiology, BS degree requires a minimum of 120 credit hours. | |
