ᅀRequired if a student uses the Las Positas College General Education Pattern for Associate of Science (AS) Degree
The Associate Degree is conferred upon those students who complete the required 60
or more semester units of the degree pattern with a grade-point average of 2.0 or
better, of which 12 units must be earned at Las Positas College. In addition, students
must complete a General Education pattern in order to earn a degree: see the Las Positas
College General Education Pattern for Associate of Science (AS) Degree, California
State University General Education-Breadth, or the Intersegmental General Education
Transfer Curriculum (for CSU) patterns for listing of areas and courses. Double counting
courses in GE and the major is permissible. The number of units that may be double
counted will depend on the entry point to the degree program, the optional course(s)
taken, and the GE pattern selected. Elective units are degree applicable. Consult
with an adviser or a counselor to plan the courses necessary to achieve your academic
goal.
