General Education Course Work
*The primary pathway for most BAS programs in the Florida College System is an A.S. degree. Typically, graduates of A.S. degree programs transfer 15-18 General Education Core credits that go toward satisfying the state’s requirement of 36 credits of general education for bachelor’s degrees. The remaining 18-21 general education credits necessary to meet the state requirement must be completed while enrolled in the BAS program.
**The program also requires the declaration of a focus area, which is distinct from the BAS concentration areas.
-A.S Degree Students: 18 credits from the A.S. program area are allocated to fulfill the focus area.
-All Other Students: For students that graduate from A.A. programs, or those admitted with 60+ college credits, the focus area of 18 credits may be tailored from courses completed as part of the A.A. program or other courses approved by the department chair. The focus areas can be quite diverse, (e.g. business, biology, social sciences, or project management, etc.) Student can also choose to take additional upper division courses for their focus area. Please see an advisor for further guidance on individual focus areas.
