DEGREES
General Education Component Checklist (continued)
Mode 4
Students must earn a minimum of 3 credits from
the following list of courses in order to meet the
general education requirement for associate degree
programs.
Mathematics Learning Outcomes
Mathematics is a continuously evolving discipline
that offers students an increased potential for understanding
the world. Issues in diverse areas including
medicine, business, science and the arts raise questions
that require individuals to have a fundamental
knowledge of mathematics. Mathematics enables
the individual to make connections, use appropriate
technology, formulate mathematical models to analyze
real data, and to read and interpret quantitative
information in order to make meaningful and appropriate
decisions. In an ever-changing and increasingly
global community, the mathematically-literate
citizen will possess the problem-solving, reasoning
and communication skills that will enable him/her to
grow and meet its demands.
By studying mathematics, students will
1. Analyze and solve problems numerically, graphically,
and symbolically.
2. Use mathematical tools and technology, including
calculators and computers, to create
mathematical models of real-world situations.

Mode 5
Students must earn a minimum of 3 credits from
the following list of courses in order to meet the
general education requirement for associate degree
programs.
Natural & Physical Sciences Learning
Outcomes
Natural and physical sciences include the study of
all living and non-living matter and energy encountered
upon and within the earth, planets and stars.
Studying the natural and physical sciences improves
students’ understanding of biological, chemical and
physical principles, and the methods of scientific
inquiry. As a basis for life-long learning, students
should understand the vocabulary of science and
realize that while a set of principles has been developed
through the work of previous scientists, ongoing
scientific inquiry and new knowledge will bring
changes in the ways scientists view the world.
By studying the natural and physical sciences,
students will
1. Formulate approaches to problem solving that
are based on the scientific method.
2. Apply scientific principles in demonstrating their
understanding of natural phenomena.

Mode 6
Students must earn a minimum of 3 credits from
the following list of courses in order to meet the
general education requirement for associate degree
programs.
Social Sciences Learning Outcomes
The social sciences are those academic disciplines
that deal with aspects of human society. Although
different in their approaches, paradigms, and perspectives,
the social sciences share a concern for
the study of human individuals and their thoughts,
emotions and behavior. Adhering to the principles of
the scientific method, they seek to describe, analyze
and interpret individual and collective behavior.
By studying the social sciences, students will
1. Demonstrate an awareness of diversity.
2. Demonstrate an understanding of individual and
group behavior in various settings.
3. Examine the impact of social structure in individual
and collective behavior.
4. Demonstrate an understanding for world
events.
5. Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamentals
of research.
