Therefore, the transcript of graduates will list only AA or AS and not the area of study. Coursework may be modified with the advisor’s consent in regard to the requirements of a student’s intended transfer college. All new fall semester freshmen are required to take the course UNIV 105 First Year Experience, although it has not been listed in the curriculum outlines.
