The elective course options within the Associate in Arts degree consist of any combination of college-level courses or recommended/required courses for a specific upper-division major and/or courses selected from the five core general education academic areas of general education: communication, humanities, mathematics, natural sciences, and social/behavioral sciences. Students are encouraged to pay careful attention to their major field of study and to the specific requirements of the institution to which they plan to transfer.

The additional credit hours (maximum of 24) required (beyond the General Education Requirements for the associate in arts degree) may be selected from courses listed in the College catalog identified in the course descriptions with program designation for transfer (applicable programs within the course details must include A.A.). These courses should be part of a program designed for transfer to a major at an upper-level college/university. Refer to your intended transfer institution’s prerequisites for your intended transfer major. Certain prerequisite courses may be required before you can transfer into a major at the junior level. Some major prerequisites may be used to meet the Florida State College at Jacksonville A.A. Electives and General Education Requirements. Students are advised to see an advisor or counselor for guidance in the selection of these courses.

In addition to addressing the field of study of an intended major at the upper-level university, students are encouraged to include in these courses from the general areas.

Fulfill ALL of the following requirements:

In accordance with Florida Statute 1007.25, students initially entering a Florida College System institution in 2014-2015 and thereafter who wish to obtain an Associate of Arts degree must demonstrate competency in a foreign language pursuant to guidelines set in Florida Statute 1007.262. Competency is demonstrated by foreign language proficiency (at the intermediate level) equivalent to 2-years in high school or a sequence of two college credit courses in a single foreign language.

Students may select from the below list of world language course combinations to be used toward the transfer program elective credit in foreign language. Note: Per Florida Statute 1007.2615(2)(b), students may use the ASL prefix coursework combination to satisfy the foreign language requirements of the College; however, the ASL prefix coursework may not count toward satisfying the foreign language requirements of the intended transfer major at state universities and postsecondary institutions outside of Florida.

A minimum grade of C or higher is required to satisfy the College’s foreign language coursework graduation requirement. Students may choose to take additional foreign language coursework beyond what is required to satisfy the College’s foreign language coursework graduation requirement and such coursework will be counted toward the required 24-credits of electives within the Associate in Arts degree.
