PROGRAMS OF STUDYPROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Students must follow the requirements of the catalog under which they enter the college. Students may follow the catalog under which they enter for a period of three years, after which time, if they have not completed their program of study, they must change to the current catalog. Students may elect to change to the current catalog at any time; however, once they have changed to the current catalog, they cannot change back to a former catalog. When students change their program of study, they must change to the current catalog at the time of the change of program. Students who intermittently attend the college must change to the current catalog when they return after not enrolling for a regular academic term, i.e., fall or spring.

Availability of Program of Study The College attempts to offer programs of study and courses at convenient times for students. The availabil ity of programs of study and course offerings is dependent on a number of factors including, student demand, instructor availability, and financial constraints. Therefore, all of the courses and programs of study listed in this catalog may not be available each term. Further, class offerings and program availability are subject to change from catalog and semester schedule listings without prior notice.

DEGREES AND AWARDS OFFERED

Alabama Southern Community College offers programs leading to the Associate in Arts Degree, the Associate in Science Degree, the Associate in Applied Science Degree, and Certificates of Completion. An academic advisor is assigned to each student in order to assist in choosing the major area of study and in planning and scheduling the courses taken each term.

UNIVERSITY PARALLEL PROGRAMS Majors leading to the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees, usually referred to as transfer degrees, are designed to prepare a student for transfer into baccalaureate programs at senior colleges and uni -versities. Thus, Associate in Arts and Associate in Science students do not officially major in an academic dis-cipline at Alabama Southern. The institutions to which these students transfer define majors.

In 1994, the Alabama state legislature passed Alabama Legislative Act 94-202. This act created the State of Alabama Articulation and General Studies Committee (AGSC). This committee, composed of representatives from the four- year and two-year colleges of Alabama was given the following charges:

1. Develop a statewide freshman and sophomore-level general studies curriculum to be taken at all public colleges and universities.

2. Develop and adopt a statewide articulation agreement for the freshman and sophomore years for the transfer of credit among all public institutions of higher education in Alabama.

Alabama Southern Community College 2009-2010 College Catalog

81

The AGSC has now developed credit hour requirements in four traditional areas of general education:

Semester hoursArea I Written Composition 6Area II Humanities & Fine Arts 12Area III Natural Sciences & Math 11Area IV History, Social & Behav. Sci. 12

The remaining hours needed to complete degree requirements come from Area V and are dependent on the intended major of the student as well as any specific requirements mandated by the institution to which he/she is planning to transfer.

Students may go the AGSC home page (http://stars.troy.edu/) and obtain a list of all courses approved for transfer by AGSC. In addition, the student can print out an articulation agreement for the institution to which he/she plans to transfer. AGSC also provides links to senior institutions which offer additional information on Area V requirements, requirements for admission, etc.

The student is reminded that acceptance of transfer credits is ultimately determined by the senior institution. IT IS THEREFORE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SENIOR INSTITUTION TO WHICH HE/SHE MAY TRANSFER. Advisors at Alaba-ma Southern Community College will assist students in planning transfer programs to meet particular senior college requirements.

It is also recommended that contact be established with a counselor or advisor at the senior institution to which the student plans to transfer. Students are also advised that it is usually to their advantage to fully complete all the requirements for the appropriate Associate in Arts or Science Degree at Alabama Southern Community College and to graduate prior to transfer to another institution in order to best insure transfer with junior standing. Sample general programs of this type are listed later in this section.

UNIVERSITY TRANSFER GUARANTEE In accordance with Alabama Legislative Act 94-202, for each student who declares a major and a transfer university and completes a STARS contract (http://stars.troy.edu/), every course the College advises the student to take in the curriculum guide will transfer to that university in that major or the College Foundation will give the student a cash award equal to the tuition and fees for that course.

ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE Programs of study leading to the Associate in Applied Science Degree have been designed primarily to prepare students for careers upon graduation from the College. Each curriculum contains college level courses pertinent to that particular field as well as general education courses designed to provide for a well rounded college education.

Although the primary objective of career programs is early job entry with potential for growth in the job, fur ther education in these options is possible after two years of college. A large number of senior institutions offer specialized programs leading to the baccalaureate degree, and some credits in these curricula may trans fer to such programs. The curricula for Associate in Applied Science Degree programs are listed later in this section.

CERTIFICATE Programs consisting of one year or less of college studies in a major area of concentration lead to the awarding of a Certificate. These programs are designed for students who are already employed and who desire to acquire new skills on a part-time basis as well as for students who must obtain an employable skill in the shortest amount of time possible. The curricula for the Certificate Programs offered by the College are listed later in this section.

GENERAL EDUCATION COMPETENCIES Alabama Southern Community College considers general education to be a common body of skills, knowledge, and values which all Associate Degree graduates must obtain and for which the College determines certain levels of competency consistent with a college education. These skills, knowledge, and values are repre-sentative of a common body of educational experiences that the College views as vital for enabling its graduates to be successful in today's complex society.

There are two sets of GEC at Alabama Southern. One set is for the university-transfer Associate Degree grad-uates, and the other set is for the Associate in Applied Science Degree graduates.

Alabama Southern university-transfer Associate Degree graduates are expected to demonstrate the following General Education Competencies:

1.Reading Comprehension - Evaluate and synthesize information and comprehend concepts gained from reading college-level materials. 2.Written Communication - Demonstrate adequate writing skills by developing ideas and organizing con-tents effectively. 3.Oral Communication - Articulate ideas, concepts, and theories in a clear fashion using language and elocution skills indicative of college-level preparation in one-on-one discussions as well as in presentations to large audiences. 4.Mathematical Computation - Compute basic mathematical operations accurately, comprehend mathe-matical information, and utilize analytical thinking skills to solve problems. 5.Computer Literacy - Use current technology and develop computer skills for everyday tasks. 6.Global Awareness - Understand concepts, issues and challenges for self and society from a worldwide view. 7.Scientific Literacy - Exhibit an ability to ask questions, evaluate evidence, and to modify one's ideas based on evidence indicating a reasoning process rooted in the scientific method. Perform laboratory activities applying methods which yield objective observation, collection, organization, and interpretation of data.

Alabama Southern Associate in Applied Science Degree graduates are expected to demonstrate the fol lowing General Education Competencies.

1. Reading Comprehension - Evaluate and synthesize information and comprehend concepts gained from reading college-level materials. 2.Written Communication - Demonstrate adequate writing skills by developing ideas and organizing con-tents effectively. 3.Oral Communication - Articulate ideas, concepts, and theories in a clear fashion, using language and elocution skills indicative of college-level preparation in one-on-one discussions as well as in presentations to larger audiences. 4.Mathematical Computation - Compute basic mathematical operations accurately, comprehend mathe-matical information, and utilize analytical thinking skills to solve problems. 5.Computer Literacy - Use current technology and develop computer skills for everyday tasks. 6.Ethical Reasoning - Articulate value-oriented positions in practical environments using clear language which indicates a well-reasoned process for decision making.

UNIVERSITY TRANSFER GENERAL EDUCATION CORE While general education competencies may be gained throughout the curriculum, the Alabama Southern Academic Council adopted a set of general education core requirements for all Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees almost a decade ago. The general education core is designed to enable students to attain the general education competencies through requirements adopted by the Alabama State Board of Education and by the State Articulation Agreement as established by the Alabama Legislature between all two-year and four-year state institutions.

The principal distinction of Alabama Southern's general education competencies (particularly from other Alabama institutions) is the emphasis on Global Awareness. The Academic Council feels strongly that students must understand their place as a citizen of the world and understand social and governmental issues from a worldwide view. Thus, the following general education core was adopted for all Associate in Arts and Associate in Science graduates.

GENERAL EDUCATION CORE COMPETENCY DOCUMENTEDA. ENG101 – English Composition I

F. Scientific Literacy

ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE GENERAL EDUCATION CORE Students preparing for employment immediately after two years of education and training have less time for general education than bachelor degree students. However, their general education competencies must also be assured. Therefore, the Alabama Southern Academic Council adopted a general education core of AAS degree graduates almost a decade ago.


84

The Alabama State Board of Education has adopted a board policy for AAS degrees. The principal distinction in Alabama Southern's core is the requirement of PHL206 - Ethics and Society. The Academic Council feels strongly that AAS degree graduates must understand the ethical context for decision making in today's complex work environment.

The following general education core was adopted over a decade ago for AAS degree graduates.
